ART IS FOR EVERYBODY
Colorful and cartoonish. Urban and socially relevant. Contemporary and timeless at once. Keith Haring’s work has never gone out of fashion. Though he died in 1990, Keith Haring is still alive in many ways. His art is everywhere. And his art is for everybody!
It was his spontaneous drawings in blank advertisement spaces in New York City subway stations which first brought him local renown – and also regard to his attitude in making art to be experienced and explored by as many individuals as possible. And his message is more relevant than ever: to make art more accessible to a wider audience.

With the Message Wagon “Keith Haring” in H0 Scale, Märklin has made sure that the dream of having your own Message Wagon Collection is easier to fulfill, extremely present-able like a fascinating art toy in the living room.

The boxset includes a short biography of the artist. A short story about Keith Haring and his attitude. He was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers and performers of his generation. His work responded to urban street culture of the 1980s. Inspired by the graffiti artists whose marks covered the city’s subway cars, Haring began to draw in white chalk over the black paper used to cover vacant advertising panels. As early as 1980, Haring began exhibiting in galleries and museums around the world, but continued to participate in public projects. Throughout his career, Haring produced murals, sculptures and paintings to benefit hospitals and underprivileged children’s groups.
