Description

Nina's Book of Little Things showcases the internationally celebrated artist Keith Haring at his brilliant best. Originally made by Haring for his young friend Nina Clemente on her seventh birthday, Nina's Book of Little Things was later published to become a bestseller around the world. Haring encourages each little artist to make the book their very own, inviting them to bring their unique touch to every page. This stunning reissue brings Haring's much-loved work to a new generation of children.

Keith Haring was born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania. He began drawing at an early age and went on to study at the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1978. As a young artist he developed a unique visual language based on the primacy of line, which came to define both his own work and the aesthetic of the 1980s. Haring lived by his mantra "art is for everybody", and he devoted much of his energy to working with children in particular, producing murals in children's hospitals, day care centres, orphanages and charities. His work can now be found in galleries, public spaces and private collections around the world.
