Description
Keith Haring,
American 1958-1990 -
Untitled, 1981;
marker on plastic wrapped around acrylic and coloured pencil on paper, signed and dated on the reverse 'Haring Sept. 81', 48 x 37.3 cm
Provenance:
Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York (according to the previous cataloguing of the work);
private collection, California, purchased from the above in 1981;
Sotheby's, London, Contemporary Art Day Auction, 8th March 2018, lot 127;
private collection, purchased from the above
Note:
Haring decided to be represented by Shafrazi in the early 1980s and had his first solo show at the gallery in 1982.
This work is a classic example of Haring's visual language. Drawing on plastic wrap over an existing drawing is demonstrative of his playful and experimental nature, akin to the subway drawings he began creating prolifically during this time.
