Item Details
Description
Keith Haring’s “Resist 87” – A Poignant Sketch by an Icon. SIGNED NYC. Approx Painting Size: 10 x 8, Approx New Frame Size: 10 x 2 inches.
Keith Haring’s “Resist 87” – A Poignant Sketch by an Icon of Street Art, Social Activism, and Visual Eloquence. We are immensely honored to present a compelling work from the hand of an art world luminary, Keith Haring, in the form of his color marker sketch, “Resist 87.” This piece is a vibrant exemplar of the energy and message that defined the ethos of Haring’s artistry. Finessed with bold lines, radiant colors, and the artist’s indefatigable spirit, “Resist 87” is a celebrated artifact of historical relevance. The sketch is signed by Keith Haring, authenticating it as an original piece from the artist celebrated for his commitment to social activism. Rendered in a size of 10 X 8, it stands as a testament to Haring’s signature style that combines bright, lively imagery with potent socio-political commentary. This piece particularly embodies the tumult and advocacy of the late 80s, carrying with it the vibrancy of the era's street culture. Keith Haring emerged in New York City during the early 1980s and quickly became a prominent figure in the art scene with his public works that featured simple, yet powerful lines and vivid colors. “Resist 87” is reflective of Haring's dedication to creating art that is accessible and charged with meaning, often addressing themes of war, oppression, and unity. 1989 was a year marked by global upheaval and calls for change, a backdrop that profoundly influenced Haring’s creations. "Resist" embodies a command for activism, an encapturing of the zeitgeist of resistance against societal and political issues that were particularly resonant at this time – including the fight against AIDS, an issue deeply personal to Haring who was diagnosed with the disease. This fine artwork is enshrined within a custom-designed, museum-quality frame, meticulously selected to showcase, and conserve the integrity of Haring’s work.
