Keith Haring in New York City was a very recognizable graffiti artist and went on to great success, and I'm sure his estate is quite robust. He died of AIDS fairly soon after he realized this success. Keith Haring, 1958 - 1990.

I like it, it's a treat to turn a corner and recognize the hand of a familiar artist. The difference between advertising and unsolicited public art is clear to viewers, and I think it just takes a little getting used to.
