Keith Haring was a young artist and social activist whose work engaged in a dialogue with the urban culture of the 1980s.

Inspired by the graffiti artists of the time, Haring drew with white chalk on the black paper used to cover vacant advertising panels.

He exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and participated in public projects, creating murals, sculptures, and paintings to benefit hospitals, underprivileged children's groups, and various community health organizations.

Volume 292 is a tribute to Keith Haring and to the street number on Lafayette Street where he opened his Pop-Shop.
