Like his contemporary, Basquiat, anything from the side of a train carriage to the step of a sidewalk could become a canvas. In 1986, Haring chose a derelict handball court next to a busy driveway to make the mural that read “Crack is Wack”. Inspired by his friends’ struggles with drug addiction and his own frustrations with the government’s inefficient response, he painted the wall without permission and subsequently was arrested, fined and faced jail time. The mural received such positive reception from the public that the charges against the artist were dropped and the artwork became a symbol of President Reagan’s “war on drugs”. ⁣ ⁣ To mark what would’ve been his 61st birthday and the upcoming exhibition of his work at @tateliverpool, we’re revisiting the times we’ve written about Haring on the site.
