AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pictorial postcard, extremely rare. Signed by Keith Haring in blue marker on the recto and dated '87 with circled cross emblem, and and drawn with a classic 'radiant baby', signed, dated '87 with circled cross emblem also on the verso. In very good state with light natural paper toning. An extremely scarce postcard signed by the late Haring in support of the protests against the South African apartheid. Haring was largely outspoken against racial injustice and used his art to spotlight minority groups facing oppression.
Size: 10.6 x 15 cm.
