Keith Haring, the performance and visual artist who made a name for himself by scribbling whimsical chalk figures on subway walls, boasted a well-documented coterie of creative friends working in 1980s New York City. Pop singer Madonna, visionary graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Pop Art icon and party-thrower Andy Warhol all numbered among Haring’s confidantes.
As it turns out, Haring’s circle left its mark on both his artwork and his fridge door.
The contemporary artist’s graffiti-covered refrigerator panel recently sold at auction for $25,000.
