About the Lucky Strike Series
Keith Haring Lucky Strike Prints For Sale
Keith Haring's Lucky Strike series (1987) represents a pivotal moment in the artist's exploration of commercial iconography and American consumer culture. Created during the apex of his career, these five screenprints demonstrate Haring's masterful ability to transform corporate symbols into powerful commentary on desire, addiction, and mass consumption. The series appropriates the iconic Lucky Strike cigarette logo—a design synonymous with mid-century American advertising—and filters it through Haring's distinctive visual vocabulary of bold lines, radiant energy, and rhythmic repetition. Each variation in the series offers a unique meditation on branding and its psychological impact, cementing Haring's position alongside contemporaries like Warhol and Lichtenstein as a chronicler of the American visual landscape.
Technically, the Lucky Strike prints (Littmann PP. 77-79) showcase Haring's sophisticated understanding of the screenprinting medium. The works feature his signature high-contrast palette and graphic precision, with each piece exploring different color combinations that both honor and subvert the original Lucky Strike branding. The layered screenprint process allows for crisp edges and vibrant color saturation that gives the works their immediate visual impact—a crucial element of Haring's democratic approach to art-making. These prints were produced in limited editions, making them highly sought-after examples of Haring's mature print work from the critical late-1980s period.
In the contemporary market, the Lucky Strike series occupies an important position within Haring's printed oeuvre. Created just three years before the artist's untimely death in 1990, these works from 1987 represent late-period Haring at his most conceptually sophisticated. Collectors particularly value the series for its art historical significance, its dialogue with Pop Art traditions, and its prescient commentary on corporate influence that remains relevant today. The complete portfolio of all five prints is especially prized, though individual works from the series continue to attract serious collectors seeking museum-quality examples of Haring's social commentary and graphic brilliance.
For collectors interested in acquiring works from Keith Haring's Lucky Strike series, Guy Hepner offers authenticated examples with comprehensive provenance documentation.

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.
