News DeskSeoul, Korea – Samsung Electronics has announced the addition of a new collection featuring 12 iconic works by renowned artist Keith Haring to its Samsung Art Store. The collection, available from December 1, showcases some of Haring’s most notable pieces from the 20th century, bringing his artistic legacy to homes worldwide. Seline Sangsook Han, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, expressed excitement about bringing Haring’s contemporary masterpieces to the digital platform, making them accessible to a global audience.
Keith Haring, a prominent figure in New York’s urban street culture during the 1980s, not only exhibited his work internationally but also engaged in social awareness projects, including literacy campaigns and anti-AIDS initiatives. The Samsung Art Store now allows users to display Haring’s iconic artworks, such as “Radiant Baby,” “Retrospect,” and “Untitled (Dancing Dogs),” with the selection curated and optimized for The Frame’s 16:9 screen ratio.
David Stark, Founder and President of Artestar, the agency representing the Keith Haring Studio, emphasized the collaboration with Samsung Art Store as an opportunity to share Haring’s iconic artwork globally. Stark noted that Haring’s belief in “art is for everybody” aligns with The Frame’s ability to bring his work into the homes of both fans and newcomers, sparking interest in Haring and his artistic legacy.
Throughout his career, Haring used art for community betterment, creating murals, sculptures, and paintings to support hospitals, underprivileged children’s groups, and community health organizations. The collection aims to honor Haring’s work and legacy, contributing to ongoing efforts by his foundation to collaborate with various institutions.
Since its launch in 2017, Samsung Art Store has partnered with notable artists, museums, and galleries to offer users access to digital artworks. In addition to the Keith Haring collection, the platform features thousands of digital artworks from masters like Gustav Klimt, Kandinsky, and Van Gogh, as well as collections from global institutions such as Tate in London, the Prado Museum in Madrid, and the Belvedere Museum in Vienna.
