Catch up quick: The celebrated artist is known for his colorful pop art works commenting on issues like environmentalism, capitalism, race, religion and sexuality.
- Several of his most significant pieces highlight his activism within the HIV/AIDS crisis; Haring died from AIDS-related illness at age 31.
What to expect: The much-anticipated exhibit includes more than 100 works spanning the entirety of Haring's career, ranging from paintings to sculptures to material from his personal journals.
