Crack Down! 1986

"Crack Down!" is a 1986 work by the American artist Keith Haring. The bold graphic style of the piece, featuring a large foot and a stylized "crack" vial held up by two figures, is typical of Haring's work. Haring, a prominent figure in the 1980s New York art scene, frequently addressed social issues, particularly the AIDS crisis. This artwork is a commentary on the war on drugs, which was a dominant theme in the 1980s.
