Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Keith Haring (1958-1990)
Marking(s); notes: signed
Country of origin; materials: American; paint on plexiglass
Dimensions (H, W, D): 15"h, 11"w; 26"h, 22.25"w frame
Additional Information: Unique work is a matrix study for a t-shirt design, intended for use in Haring's New York Pop Shop store but never printed. Per the consignor, "Most likely the complexity of the imagery would have been a challenge to translate onto fabric so he did not move forward with production and retained the original art for his archives. The "Dancing Man" figure is the cornerstone to his most important works. Visually this is more than a study as it is in full color and highly developed. Its symmetry and detail qualify it as fully realized work of art in and of itself."
Note, listing photos include views under different lighting to illustrate the shadows inherent to the depth of the plexiglass; the background is black as per the opening shot and we did not note any fading. Provenance: Artist | Pop Shop (Japan) | Private Collection | Dr. Shavelson, New York, New York | Hal Katzen Gallery, New York, New York | Howard Russeck Fine Art, Palm Beach, Florida (purchased 3.6.2015).
Bidders are invited to preview in person at our West Palm Beach location from Monday, April 4th through auction day. Preview hours are Mon.-Fri., 10am-5pm. High resolution photos and video preview are available; please direct any questions and/or consignment inquiries to info@modernauctions.com.
