About this work
The Valley 4 (Littmann PP. 138) is the fourth etching in Keith Haring’s 1989 series The Valley—a work that continues to deepen and develop the visual world of the fictional valley as the series moves from its establishing phase into a sustained exploration of the chaos and horror that define its narrative territory. Executed in etching on paper and measuring 14 by 12 1/2 inches (35.6 x 31.8 cm), this plate represents a departure from the visual language with which Haring is most widely associated: the thick, gestural marks of his public work give way here to fine, intricate lines that accumulate into compositions of unusual visual and psychological density. By the fourth plate, the world of the valley is fully inhabited, its peculiar atmosphere of dark surrealism established and ready to deepen. Haring’s technique in The Valley reveals an artist of considerably wider range than his most celebrated public imagery might suggest. The fine lines of the etching process allow for a quality of mark-making that is simultaneously more intimate and more complex than the bold graphic strokes of his murals and prints—each line in the composition contributes to a larger visual fabric whose overall effect is one of accumulation and density. The imagery of this fourth plate, consistent with the series’ dark and enigmatic character, presents figures and forms engaged in experiences that are troubling, ambiguous, and possessed of genuine imaginative strangeness. The Valley’s collaborative context—Haring’s images produced alongside text by William S. Burroughs—gives the series an additional layer of cultural significance. The fourth plate is part of a sustained joint artistic statement from two of the most distinctive voices in late-twentieth-century American culture, a work whose full meaning is best appreciated in the context of both artists’ extraordinary individual legacies.

About Keith Haring

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.
