About this work
In the summer of 1985, Keith Haring traveled to Copenhagen to contribute a mural to the *Homo Decorens* exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. During this visit, he met Danish master printer Niels Borch Jensen. Their encounter led to one of Haring’s most significant works on paper.“I had installed my first large press earlier that day, and we decided to meet in my studio the next day and make the biggest print we could. I prepared the plates, and when he arrived, he immediately started working, sitting on the floor, without any preliminary sketches or tracings. He started with the figure’s shoulders and built the motive from there. It only took him a few hours to finish all three plates.”The resulting artwork, *Medusa Head*, became not only the largest print Keith Haring ever produced, but also the first large-scale print created by Niels Borch Jensen. Rendered in aquatint on Hahnemühle paper, the piece spans more than one meter in height and nearly 2.5 meters in width, making it a monumental achievement in both artists' careers.Haring’s influence on contemporary art is vast. As a pivotal figure in New York’s 1980s avant-garde scene, he was known for his energetic lines, vivid color palette, and art that delivered powerful social messages. Created in 1986, Untitled (Medusa) reflects these hallmarks, depicting a Hydra-like form composed of multiple bodies emerging from a central figure. The story behind its creation, rooted in Copenhagen, adds a unique chapter to Haring’s international legacy.Haring was more than an artist—he was an activist whose work addressed issues like sexuality, religion, politics, and public health. He used his platform to champion HIV/AIDS awareness, nuclear disarmament, and racial justice, often creating art that was accessible to the public through murals and subway drawings.This collaboration with BORCH Editions remains a milestone in Haring’s oeuvre. As Niels Boe-Hauggaard, Head of Modern Art at Bruun Rasmussen, reflects: “Keith Haring’s works are the epitome of New York’s art scene in the 1980s, but this work was created by the artist in Copenhagen and is therefore – unbeknown to many – a Danish slice of the legendary artist’s life and work.”For more information on Untitled (Medusa) (Littmann PP . 54-55) for sale or to buy Keith Haring’s Untitled (Medusa) (Littmann PP . 54-55) contact info@guyhepner.com or use the form below.

About the Untitled Series
Keith Haring Untitled Prints For Sale
Keith Haring's "Untitled" works represent some of the most sought-after pieces in the contemporary art market, showcasing the artist's extraordinary range across his brief but prolific career. Spanning from 1980 to 1989, these works capture Haring's evolution from his early subway drawings to his mature pop-inflected visual language. The series includes iconic imagery—from the Cup Man and Dolphin motifs to his celebrated Love compositions—each demonstrating Haring's unparalleled ability to communicate universal themes through deceptively simple forms. Unlike his titled commissions and public works, these untitled pieces often represent Haring's most personal explorations, offering collectors intimate access to his creative process and spontaneous visual thinking.
The technical mastery evident throughout the "Untitled" series spans multiple mediums, from drawings and prints to unique works on paper. The Pop Shop Drawings (1985) exemplify Haring's democratic approach to art-making, while works like Littmann PP. 116-117 and Littmann PP. 20—catalogued in the authoritative Littmann reference—demonstrate his sophisticated understanding of printmaking techniques. Haring's signature bold black lines, radiant babies, and barking dogs achieve maximum impact through minimal means, a testament to his training in semiotics and graphic design. His rhythmic compositions and deliberate use of primary colors create instantly recognizable visual signatures that transcend traditional fine art boundaries.
The market position of Haring's "Untitled" works has strengthened considerably in recent decades, reflecting growing institutional recognition and sustained collector demand. Works from key years—particularly 1982, 1987, and 1989—command premium prices, with properly documented pieces from the Littmann catalogue offering exceptional provenance. The breadth of the "Untitled" series, encompassing everything from experimental early works like the 1980 UFO composition to late-period masterworks, provides collectors opportunities across various price points while maintaining the cachet of Haring's most recognizable visual vocabulary.
For collectors seeking museum-quality examples from Keith Haring's "Untitled" series, Guy Hepner offers expertly curated selections with impeccable provenance and comprehensive 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.
