Keith Haring (American, 1958 - 1990). "The Paris Review [1988]". Original color silkscreen. 1988. Signed and dated in black marker, lower right; signed and dated in the plate, lower left. Edition unknown, presumed small. White wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression with vibrant colors. Overall very good to fine condition. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Gundel/von der Osten "Keith Haring - Short Messages: Posters" #66. Provenance: Borje Bengtsson, Bengtsson Fine Art, Landskrona, Sweden. Haring created this image for the famous periodical “Paris Review.” An impression of the poster, identical to our example but unsigned, was available on their website at $4,000 in August, 2016. They note that the poster was based on the sold out silkscreen print of the same image which was published by them in an edition of 200 in 1989. However, the poster was published in 1988, the print in 1989. Based on auction records the poster appears far more uncommon than the print. According to ‘Gordon’s Art Reference’ the auction record for the print is $11,250 at Sotheby's, New York, October 30, 2014, lot #239. Gordon’s does not list any auction records for the poster. Both the poster and the print are silkscreens. They differ only in the size (24 x 32 inches for the poster & 22 x 30 inches for the print), the color in the face (green in the poster, blue in the print), and the elimination of the plate signature and date in the print, both present in the poster.
