About the Item
Screenprint in colours, 1988, on Lenox Museum Board, signed and dated in pencil, numbered from the edition of 100, published by Martin Lawrence Limited Editions, New York, with their blindstamp, 75.9 x 101.9 cm. (29 7/8 x 40 1/8 in.)
This piece is part of Keith Haring’s ‘Growing’ series, consisting of five prints created in 1988 after the artist was tragically diagnosed with AIDS. Reflecting on the fragile state of the world at the time, this is an optimistic series alluding to his hopes for a world of socio-political harmony and unity. Here the artist uses his typical vibrant colours and bold outlines to guide the viewers eye around his figures which have been morphed into one singular being. In their interconnectedness, Haring’s figures grow together, devoid of distinctions between sex, gender, race, or class.

Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”
