Keith Haring:
Keith Haring, a defining artist of the 1980s, is known for his iconic, colorful figures and symbols that create a unique bridge between street art and pop art. Haring began his career on the streets and in New York City subway stations, where he drew his characteristic dancing figures and radiant shapes on advertising boards with chalk. These works, which often addressed social and political issues such as AIDS, apartheid, and drug use, established him as a central figure in the art scene of his time.

Haring’s style, characterized by bold, thick lines and recurring motifs like the “Radiant Baby” and the dancing figures, shows clear parallels to the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat, another major figure of the New York Street Art scene. Both artists used the streets as their canvas and brought their art into the public eye in a way that starkly diverged from the traditional gallery and museum world. Haring’s colorful, accessible visual language also echoes the Pop Art movement, particularly the works of Andy Warhol, with whom Haring was close friends. Like Warhol, Haring used simple, recognizable symbols to convey complex themes and appeal to a broad audience.

Another influence on Haring was the graphic and linear quality of comics, which play a central role in his works. This affinity with comic culture links him with artists like Roy Lichtenstein, who also drew on comics as an artistic source, though in an ironic and distanced manner. Haring, by contrast, injected a direct, often activist message into his works, which also connects him with the political works of Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer. Both artists used text and image to comment on social and political issues, much as Haring did in his posters and public artworks.

Seller's Story

We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists. The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner. We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging. If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
