American artist (1958–1990) whose graffiti-inspired outline drawings of human figures and animals made him one of the most recognizable and ubiquitous figures in the 1980s art scene. ALS signed “Keith,” one page, 8.5 x 11, pictorial Keith Haring, Inc. letterhead, no date [1980s]. Haring sends encouragement to a fan named Teri. In full: “Thanks for your letter. It’s nice to know there’s people out there who care. Remember, never be afraid to be yourself. Unfortunately, people are usually forced to learn the hard way. Most of my good friends, now, are people who didn’t ‘fit in’ where they came from. You are not alone. Good luck in Kansas.” Most uncommon in letters with this kind of appeal! In fine condition.
