Dimensions:

Outer frame size: 70 x 50 cm. All measured values are approximate.

Provenance and Authenticity:

This work is an officially authorized print combining the iconic Hello Kitty character with the distinctive visual language of Keith Haring. The dense black line drawings, rhythmic symbols, and animated motifs are directly derived from Haring's established graphic vocabulary. Such works are typically produced through licensed collaborations with the Keith Haring Estate and Sanrio, reflecting a posthumous extension of Haring's art into popular culture. The composition, style, and graphic consistency support its attribution within the Keith Haring-Hello Kitty collaborative print series.

Historical significance:

Keith Haring emerged in the 1980s as a defining figure of street art and Neo-Pop, using bold lines and universal symbols to address themes of life, death, love, and social activism. His work has since transcended the gallery space, becoming deeply embedded in global visual culture. The Hello Kitty collaboration reflects Haring's long-standing interest in accessibility, mass communication, and the dissolution of boundaries between fine art and popular imagery. By merging Haring's socially driven visual language with Hello Kitty's global commercial identity, the work exemplifies the ongoing dialogue between contemporary art, branding, and cultural symbolism in the postmodern era.
