The Valley 12 (Littmann PP. 140), 1989
Etching
14 x 12 1/2 in 35.6 x 31.8 cm
The Valley 12 (Littmann PP. 140) is the twelfth etching in Keith Haring’s 1989 series The Valley—a composition positioned in the suite’s final third as the visual narrative of the valley approaches its conclusion and the series’ sustained atmosphere of darkness and complexity reaches its most fully realised expression. Executed in etching on paper and measuring 14 by 12 1/2 inches (35.6 x 31.8 cm), this plate represents Haring’s etching practice at the height of its complexity within the series, the intricate fine lines of the intaglio process building a composition of extraordinary visual density. The world of the valley—its figures, its creatures, its pervasive sense of unease—is here presented with the authority of a visual narrative that has had twelve plates to establish its terms and develop its characters. The depth of engagement evident in The Valley 12 speaks to the seriousness and ambition with which Haring approached this exceptional collaborative project. His etching line, applied with deliberate and patient precision, creates a surface that rewards extended examination—the kind of close, sustained looking that the smaller scale of the etchings both demands and enables. The imagery, consistently dark and surrealist throughout the series, here achieves a quality of visual completeness: a world fully realised, a moment of that world captured in the fine lines of intaglio. The Valley was created in partnership with William S. Burroughs, one of the most celebrated and iconoclastic writers of the twentieth century. Together, Haring’s imagery and Burroughs’ text construct a fictional world of enduring imaginative power. The twelfth plate is part of that construction—an etching of genuine psychological and formal force from an artist who, in this series, allowed himself to inhabit creative territory very different from the public-facing, optimistic work for which he is most widely celebrated.

Angel Vasquez on 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.
Keith Haring paintings for sale represent some of the most sought-after works on the contemporary secondary market. His paintings — executed in acrylic on canvas, tarpaulin, or found materials — carry his full signature vocabulary: interlocking figures, radiating lines, and the symbolic shorthand developed across thousands of public works and private commissions. Major series include the Blueprint Drawings, Icons, and monumental canvases that translate his street aesthetic into gallery-scale statements.
Haring's auction record reflects his enduring market strength. Works from his most productive period (1982–1989) consistently achieve seven-figure results at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips. Paintings from the White Icons series — stark works on black backgrounds — are among his most instantly recognisable and command exceptional premiums. At Guy Hepner Gallery, we source Keith Haring paintings for sale from authenticated secondary market collections with full provenance documentation.
Keith Haring prints for sale encompass a rich body of editions produced throughout the 1980s. His screenprint series are particularly prized: Andy Mouse, Lucky Strike, Retrospect (1989), and the Pop Shop editions produced through his own retail venture on Lafayette Street. Signed and numbered editions from these series are the most actively traded and form the foundation of many Haring collections.
Beyond prints, Haring produced drawings, sculptures, and unique works on paper. His Blueprint Drawings — executed with ink on blueprint paper — offer collectors an intimate window into his process and are increasingly sought after. When acquiring Keith Haring original art for sale, prioritise works with clear exhibition history and provenance from dealers who worked with Haring during his lifetime. Signed prints from identified series with documented edition details offer the strongest combination of accessibility and long-term value.
