About the Item
The 1991 "Future Primeval" exhibition poster by Keith Haring was created to promote a major show of Haring's work that was held at both the Queens Museum in New York and Illinois State University. This exhibition took place shortly after Haring’s death in 1990, a time when his influence on contemporary art and culture was already well established.
"Future Primeval" highlighted Haring’s exploration of primal human themes and raw energy, showcasing some of his most iconic pieces. The exhibition underscored his engagement with universal symbols, social issues, and the human condition. Haring’s work, blending elements of street art with bold, cartoonish imagery, resonated deeply with audiences, creating a visual language that was both accessible and profound.
The exhibition’s themes addressed matters such as power dynamics, sexuality, and mortality—subjects particularly relevant amid the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, which Haring actively addressed in his art and activism. The show provided a reflective look at how Haring’s art used elemental forms and primal figures to tap into the collective human psyche, while also commenting on urgent social and political issues.
Keith Haring’s "Future Primeval" was more than an art exhibition; it was a statement on life, struggle, and resilience. Haring sought to make art accessible to all, and his work challenged audiences to engage with complex themes in an approachable format. His iconic symbols, like dancing figures and radiating lines, became shorthand for human connection and collective experience.
The "Future Primeval" exhibition poster became a significant collector’s item, representing not only Haring’s distinct style but also his legacy as a cultural and social figure. This piece is valued among collectors of modern art for its historical significance and its role in celebrating Haring's groundbreaking contributions to both art and activism.
The poster stands as a testament to Haring’s mission to bridge fine art and public art, creating work that could engage audiences from all walks of life. As a memento of one of his most impactful exhibitions, it continues to embody his vision of art as a means of communication, joy, and societal reflection.

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.”
