This lot consists of an acrylic painting on canvas mounted to board, done in the pop art style of graffiti artist Keith Haring (American, 1958-1990). "Keith Haring" is hand written at bottom right. To the right is the iconic crosshair symbol which is often associated with Haring. Dynamic, cartoonish, and inherently modern: quite typical of the stylized, iconic work produced by New York-based street artist Haring. Framed piece measures approximately 25.5" x 25.5" / Image sight measures approximately 23.5" x 23.5".

Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958 - February 16, 1990) was an American artist whose pop art and graffiti-like work grew out of the New York City street culture of the 1980s. Haring's work grew to popularity from his spontaneous drawings in New York City subways-chalk outlines of figures, dogs, and other stylized images-on blank black advertising-space backgrounds. After public recognition he created larger scale works, such as colorful murals, many of them commissioned. His imagery has "become a widely recognized visual language". His later work often addressed political and societal themes-especially homosexuality and AIDS-through his own iconography.
