About Keith Haring

Keith Haring prints for sale at Guy Hepner include works from the most sought-after series in his catalogue: the Blueprint Drawings, Retrospect, Lucky Strike, Andy Mouse, and the Pop Shop editions. Keith Haring paintings for sale and Keith Haring original art for sale through our New York gallery are sourced from authenticated secondary market collections with full provenance.

Keith Haring (1958–1990) transformed the walls of the New York City subway into a gallery before taking his visual language to the world's most prestigious museums. Born in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, he arrived in New York in 1978 and developed the bold, energetic vocabulary — radiant babies, barking dogs, crawling figures — that would define his legacy. His career was cut short when he died of AIDS-related complications in 1990 at thirty-one, having compressed a lifetime's output into a decade of extraordinary productivity.
