About the Item

Keith Haring Dance on the Lower East Side: Fold-out invitation designed & illustrated by Haring for a opening night benefit party at The Underground, New York, NY 1983; in conjunction with Dance on the Lower East Side - a weekend long benefit dance event at St. Marks Church, East Village 1983. Participants included the legendary New York graffiti artists: Futura 2000, Phase II (Phase 2) & the seminal 1980s NY hip hop group, the Rock Steady Crew. Catalog Raisonne: Keith Haring: Posters (Prestel). Scarce. Offset printed; 3 x 10 inches open / 3 x 5 inches closed. Printed signature dated 1983 by Haring on the mid-lower front right. Good to very good overall vintage condition; staple rust mark to insert (image 4). Well preserved. Keith Haring rose to prominence in 1980s New York within the East Village art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and Jenny Holzer. He bridged the gap between the art world and the street, graffiting city subways and sidewalks before committing to a studio practice. Haring united the appeal of cartoons with the raw energy of Art Brut artists such as Jean DuBuffet as he developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic that comprised energetic, boldly outlined figures against solid or patterned backdrops. His major themes included exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and the threat of nuclear holocaust; Haring boldly engaged with social issues, especially after receiving an AIDS diagnosis in 1987. Today, his work sells for seven figures at auction and has been the subject of solo shows at the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Albertina Museum in Vienna, among other institutions.
