Description: In 1986, Keith Haring, already celebrated for his groundbreaking art, was invited to create the poster for the Montreux Jazz Festival. This collaboration stemmed from Pierre Keller's encounter with Haring shortly after the artist's highly successful first official exhibition in 1982. Inspired by Keller's vision of a poster featuring a swinging character, Haring presented three variations, all of which were retained for their captivating energy and dynamic style. The innovative idea to invite the renowned New York artist to Montreux was a stroke of genius by Keller and Claude Nobs. Haring's presence at the festival was electric as he tirelessly painted frescoes on large white panels, graced the stage alongside musicians, and adorned the streets of Montreux with his vibrant artwork. This poster encapsulates the spirit of creativity and collaboration that defined Haring's legendary career and remains a cherished piece of music and art history.

Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”
