Provenance and Authentication:
According to the Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and Certificate of Authenticity (COA) provided by the consignor, this collectible was subjected to a forensic examination. The accompanying documentation states that the signatures were evaluated with reference to multiple characteristics, including ink deposition, material and aging characteristics, stylistic consistency, and historical context. Based on the examination described in these documents, the authentication provider concluded that the findings were consistent with the attributed signatures. The LOA and COA provided by the consignor accompany the lot.
A signed figural drawing attributed to the hand of Keith Haring, executed in bold black line on paper and dated "89." The composition presents a large radiating figure surrounding a smaller figure, employing the simplified human forms, emphatic contours, and rhythmic motion marks closely associated with Haring's visual vocabulary.
The drawing demonstrates a direct and economical handling of line: the figures are constructed through continuous, confident contours, while short radiating strokes around the head and limbs reinforce a sense of movement and energy. The nested relationship between the two figures creates a compact, immediately legible composition characteristic of Haring's recurring exploration of human interaction, movement, and symbolic imagery.
The lower portion bears a handwritten "K. Haring" signature, the date "89," and a circled-cross device. The signature shows a loose, rapidly executed structure, with abbreviated letter construction and a long flowing terminal stroke; the accompanying date and symbol are also consistent in general appearance with elements encountered in Haring's signed works from the period.
Presented framed and matted, the work has a strong graphic presence and considerable decorative and collecting appeal.
