About the Item

Keith Haring 1988 Man, from the Estate of Dorothy Berenson Blau (with unique inscription), 1988 Silkscreen. Unique Artist's Proof. Signed and inscribed to pioneering Miami dealer, Dorothy Berenson Blau Frame included This work is a rare, inscribed Artists Proof aside from the regular edition of 150. In 1988, Keith Haring was at the height of his fame as an artist (and fixture on the club scene.) That year, he designed this print as an invitation for a decadent New Years Eve sex party in NYC, featuring an irreverent pinstriped personification of capitalism. You'd be forgiven if you thought Haring's 1988 man reminded you of a jailbird. Only two years later Haring would be dead of AIDS. Only 150 of these invitations were hand signed and numbered, and some artists proofs - like the present work - were personally inscribed by Keith. Own a piece of Pop history with extraordinary provenance. This is a hand signed and inscribed silkscreen entitled "1988 Man" - a rare Artist's Proof, aside from the regular edition of 150. This silkscreen was given by Keith Haring to his dear friend and dealer, the pioneering Miami art dealer, Dorothy Berenson Blau who was one of the first to champion Pop Art and befriended artists like Keith Haring, Robert Indiana and Andy Warhol. She published several Pop Art portfolios, and actively promoted Pop artists in the Miami region with great success. The work is hand signed and dated by Keith Haring along the right recto and inscribed to her with obvious gratitude. The inscription reads as follows: "For Dorothy with Love" Measurements: 13 x 11 inches (frame) 10 1/8 x 8 inches (sheet) This was acquired from the Berenson Estate.
