Keith Haring
Screenprint on paper
Literature: Keith Haring, the artist and social activist whose life was cut short by the AIDS epidemic, is immortalized here in Shepard Fairey’s now iconic and street art-inspired aesthetic style. Modeled after the famed image by photographer Patrick McMullan, Fairey’s reproduced screenprint on canvas presents Haring as a virtuous pillar of light in the convergence of graffiti and fine art genres, a place where both artists have found their niche. While the overall design and color scheme resonates as a purely Fairey-esque composition, the background is dominated by, and pays homage to, Haring’s influential work. The most recognizable and clearly defined is Haring’s “Radiant Baby,” positioned in the upper right quadrant.
Dimensions: 24 x 18 in (60.96 x 45.72 cm)
signature info: Signed on recto
Edition: 66 of 450
