About this work
The **Keith Haring Barking Dog** is one of the most enduring icons in his visual vocabulary — a four-legged figure locked in an aggressive forward stance, barking with all-caps intensity and the radiating energy lines that are Haring's signature shorthand for force, speed, and alarm. The image first appeared in Haring's early 1980s subway drawings on blank advertising panels throughout the New York City transit system, where he chalked it in minutes alongside hundreds of other figures in a sustained, spontaneous practice that made him internationally known. ## Keith Haring Barking Dog Print For Sale This screen print is from Haring's **Icons series (1990)** — the last major print edition produced before his death from AIDS-related complications in February 1990. The Icons series is among the most important in his print catalogue: a definitive collection of his signature symbols — the Radiant Baby, the Angel, the Three-Eyed Man, the Barking Dog, X-Man, and others — executed as bold, flat-colour lithographs that represent the fullest expression of the visual language he spent a decade developing. The **Keith Haring dog** carries layers of meaning across his work. As a symbol it represents aggression, dominance, and the ways power operates through fear — the dog barking at crawling figures appears across many of his most politically charged works, representing oppressive authority. In later works the barking dog also became a more ambiguous figure: watchful, alert, sometimes protective. Its recurrence throughout his career makes it the single most consistently present motif in Haring's work after the Radiant Baby. **Keith Haring Barking Dog** prints are sought by collectors at every level — from the early subway drawing originals (which appear occasionally at major auction houses at six figures) to the Icons screen prints, which offer a more accessible entry point into his market with full authentication documentation. At Guy Hepner Gallery, all Keith Haring Barking Dog prints for sale are sourced with full provenance and, where applicable, Keith Haring Foundation authentication records. **Contact us** to discuss available editions, condition, pricing, and collection advisory.
