About this work

Keith Haring's Baby TV exemplifies the artist's distinctive visual language of fluid, gestural mark-making combined with figural abstraction. Created in 1981 using sumi ink on laminated panel, this intimate work features Haring's characteristic dancing figures and organic forms rendered with spontaneous energy. The small scale and monochromatic palette demonstrate his versatility beyond large-scale public murals, revealing the meditative quality of his studio practice. This work captures a pivotal moment in Haring's career when he was exploring themes of childhood, technology, and human connection. The title suggests a dialogue between innocence and contemporary consumer culture, subjects that would preoccupy the artist throughout the 1980s. Baby TV remains a significant example of Haring's innovative approach to traditional media, merging street art aesthetics with fine art practice.

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.
