{"title":"Keith Haring","description":"\u003cp\u003eExhibition ephemera, announcements, posters and printed matter by or relating to Keith Haring (1958–1990), the American artist whose visual language — radiant babies, barking dogs, crawling figures and interlocked bodies — emerged through the New York subway drawings of the early 1980s before moving into gallery exhibitions, public murals, commercial multiples and the Pop Shop. Haring’s practice was grounded in speed, scale and the direct circulation of images between artist and audience. Posthumous exhibitions and publications have continued to present his work through the institutions and galleries that shaped downtown New York culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"keith-haring-pop-figuration-deitch-projects-new-york-2003","title":"KEITH HARING — Pop Figuration, Deitch Projects, New York, 2003","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal folded exhibition poster \/ announcement.

The exhibition brought together large-scale ink drawings, many approaching mural dimensions, made primarily between 1982 and 1984 — a concentrated period in which Haring developed the figures, bodies, animals and compressed symbolic structures that became his visual vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe announcement is unusually substantial for gallery ephemera. One side converts the exhibition information into a hand-drawn field: Haring’s name and the title \u003cem\u003ePop Figuration\u003c\/em\u003e are pushed around the perimeter, partly inverted, with the Deitch Projects address and dates absorbed into the composition. The reverse is occupied entirely by a dense black-line drawing of interlocked figures, eyes, animals and hybrid bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolded, the image becomes an administrable gallery announcement. Opened, it returns to the scale and horizontal movement of a small mural. The six-panel structure interrupts the drawing without containing it; figures continue across the folds and the informational side refuses a single fixed orientation. The poster therefore operates as both distribution material and reproduction — an exhibition carried away from the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIssued thirteen years after Haring’s death, this poster also belongs to Deitch Projects’ particular reconstruction of downtown New York culture. The gallery’s programme moved between fine art, street culture, music, fashion, retail display and immersive installation. \u003cem\u003ePop Figuration\u003c\/em\u003e presented Haring not simply as an established Pop icon but as a draftsman whose imagery emerged through scale, speed, repetition and physical contact with paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: very good.
