Marker on paper, framed. Featuring two figures dancing. Signed and attributed to Keith Haring (American, 1958-1990) on the lower edge. Dated 1989. 27 x 20 cm (10.6 x 7.9 inches). Frame size: 43 x 36 cm (16.9 x 14.2 inches). Haring developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic centered on fluid, bold outlines against a dense, rhythmic overspread of imagery like that of babies, barking dogs, flying saucers, hearts, and Mickey Mouse. In his subway drawings and murals, Haring explored themes of exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and rising fears of nuclear holocaust. PROVENANCE: Private collection (Newmarket, Canada)
