Keith Haring

Born : 1958Died : 1990Documented citizenships : United States

Keith Haring (1958–1990), whose full name was Keith Allen Haring, was an American artist and social activist. The works documented here offer a range of formats and supports: an untitled composition attributed to Haring, dated 1983 and measuring 290 × 590 cm, is accompanied by Tuttomondo, listed as an independent painting, as well as a 1989 poster for Les Ballet de Monte Carlo.

A work on paper from 1986, executed in gouache and ink, measures 24 × 26 cm (sheet). Signed and dated, it bears a Christmas dedication to Yves and Debby on the reverse. The sale notice states that it is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Keith Haring Studio, LLC in 2009. The published provenance mentions the collections of Yves and Debra Arman in Paris, followed by a private collection in Paris, before the work entered a private collection in Switzerland after its sale in Paris in 2016.
