Keith Haring Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
American, 1958-1990
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.”

By Keith Haring
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Keith Haring drawing Japan 1982:
Keith Haring executed this rare double drawing in 1982 on behalf of the famed Japanese pop cultural publication: Popeye. The work emanates from the personal collection of the magazine’s editor, with the final versions published in the January 10, 1983 edition of the magazine (included with this work).
The imagery of this bold & playful Haring drawing speaks to a unique insight into the artist’s process - one complete with a myriad of Haring’s signature motifs: dancing figures, lizards, televisions, & Haring’s classic three-eyed face - interwoven with bold, classic lines - visual elements at the core of what has established Haring as a seminal artist who continues to transcend time.
The handwritten instructions on the right are also by Haring. Signature is bold and well-preserved - all combining for a highly collectible, one of a kind work. Further details as follows:
Medium: Felt-tip pen and ink on wove paper, 1982.
Dimensions: 14x17 inches.
Good overall vintage condition; contains two folded flaps outside drawings; softened vertical creases in flaps; minor signs of handling; minor edge wear at top; pale toning and scattered spotting with some scattered, small mild staining; adhesive/tape residue on the verso.
Signed, titled and dated: "82 Nov. 12" in felt-tip pen and ink, right edge recto, with notes in ball-point pen and ink, lower right recto. Handwritten instructions on the right are that of Keith Haring.
Provenance: Popeye magazine editor, Tokyo; gifted to a private collection, Tokyo; Swann Auction galleries, New York.
Literature/References:
Published in the January 10, 1983 edition of Popeye: issue number 142, pages 75 & 97, respectively (see last 3 listing images). *This publication is included with the drawing.
“Drawing is making a mark and cutting into space and just finding something that didn’t exist before. It’s pure creation in its simplest form.” — Keith Haring

Keith Haring
Untitled "Art Attacks on AIDS"
Subway Drawing / Chalk on Paper
Museum Acid Free Silk Backing, Charcoal Seamless Handmade Wood Frame and Museum Non Glare Plexiglass.
Since the very beginning of his career, Keith Haring was always passionate about creating art that was easily accessible to everyone and his New York City subway drawings, murals and street art meant that a much larger and more diverse audience could experience his work, outside of the more insular space of an art gallery.
As he traveled the New York City Subway System Keith noticed black matte paper had been used to cover expired adds. He purchased white chalk which he kept in his pocket, and started drawing, this quickly became a daily obsession of his. As the train would enter a station he would look for the black spaces on the subway station walls, exit the train, quickly draw without any planning or any preparation then leave on the next train.
As noted by Dr. Amy Raffel:
""His incessant repetition, Haring’s subway drawings allowed him to perfect his highly recognizable reduced linear vocabulary, and to create an inventory of images. Simplification was practical: he needed to complete his drawings as fast as possible to avoid being arrested. He created characters, such as the barking dog and the radiating baby, which he drew on flat planes with no spatial depth, often with only a horizon line or a staircase to suggest space. Drawn close to the surface like cartoons, his images had immediacy and impact, and could carry multiple meanings through various combinations.""
Keith is believed to have completed roughly 5,000 chalk subway...
