AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Keith Haring`s Fun Book!!

Keith Haring´s Fun Book is a collection of 12 black-and-white drawings.
The original illustrations, depicting children and animals in Haring's dynamic signature style, are designed to be completed and colored in by children.
Since most of the 2,000 copies of this book published in 1985 fulfilled their purpose as children's coloring books, the few remaining intact copies have become rare collectibles.
Cool artwork that reflects Haring's commitment to children and his wish to make his iconic images accessible to a wide range of people.

The coloring album was initiated by l´Artbus Service educatif and offset-printed on 14 December 1985 in 33360 Latrense/ France.
These were then offered at the CAPC Musée d´Art Contemporain in Bordeaux.
Limited edition of 2,000 copies.

This copy is in excellent condition!

Notably, this is the first edition from 1985 and is consequently rarer to obtain than the second edition from 1992!
Therefore also the higher value, which is reflected in the price.
