About the Item
Keith Haring (1958–1990) is arguably the most recognized graffiti artist of all time. His iconic imagery developed on the subway walls of New York City in the early 1980s, breaking the barrier between high art and street art almost overnight. Haring’s art was without pretence and full of optimism. It was also accessible to the masses, both physically and visually.
Haring’s distinctive, cartoon-like figures are the defining motif in his work. Thick, energetic lines evoke a sense of movement and fun. He was also a master colorist, juxtaposing vibrating hues that hypnotized viewers.
This work is a first-edition copy of the catalog that was released on the occasion of Keith Haring's seminal exhibition at Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York, in 1982. Featuring Haring's iconic Three Eyed Smiling Face on the cover, this catalog includes a forward by Tony Shafrazi, and texts by Keith Haring and Jeffrey Deitch amongst others. The catalog includes examples of Haring's varied output, including sculptures, murals, studio photographs, subway drawings photographed by close friend Tseng Kwong Chi, and 15 double-sided lithograph inserts in a coloring book section at the end.
While the catalog was produced in a limited edition of 2000 copies, this particular copy is unique in that it features an original, personalized drawing in marker on the interior front cover, dedicated "FOR GORDON."
Gordon Rayner was a celebrated Canadian artist, and a contemporary of Haring's. It was not uncommon for Haring to "sign" his catalogs with a drawing, and there are other examples of this. This copy offers a unique version of the "signature," with a personalized dedication to a fellow artist.
This is a beautifully-designed catalog and a comprehensive look at Haring's foundational and most influential work during the early 1980s. It offers a chance to not only to own an original drawing by Haring, but an important piece of his artistic history. Haring's landmark exhibition at Tony Shafrazi gallery, alongside this catalog, helped launch his career into the next stratosphere, allowing him to leave an artistic legacy that is still revered today.

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.”

Geometric Mouse
By Claes Oldenburg
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Claes Oldenberg (b.1929) is a Swedish-born American artist, renowned for his contribution to Pop art by way of his iconic soft sculptures and public installations.
In 1962, Oldenburg debuted his revolutionary soft sculptures at the Green Gallery in New York. Three giant, squishy sculptures of an ice cream cone, a hamburger, and a slice of cake, swelled across the gallery floor, forever changing the way we define sculpture. It has been noted that Oldenburg's early work was largely inspired by Yayoi Kusama's hand-sewn phallic-shaped soft sculptures that enveloped the surfaces of ironing boards, sofas, and boats.
Click here to see an exhibition poster featuring a later example of Kusama's soft sculptures.
Ranging from voluminous hamburgers (famously on display at the AGO) to ballistic badminton shuttlecocks, Oldenberg's colossal sculptures replicate commonplace objects on a grand scale, often disrupting the environment they inhibit with curious and playful subtexts. The confrontational nature of Oldenberg's sculptures places an emphasis on the viewer, asking us to reconsider our relationship to these recognizable, but obscure, objects.
