Keith Haring

incised with the artist's signature, number and date 'K. Haring 1987 8/10' on the base

1987

This work exemplifies Keith Haring's signature approach of applying polyurethane enamel to an industrial material, transforming utilitarian aluminum into a canvas for his dynamic, gestural imagery. The edition marking "8/10" indicates this is part of a limited series of ten casts, a practice common to Haring's sculptural output during the 1980s. The inscription of the artist's distinctive signature, edition number, and 1987 date directly on the base establishes the work's provenance and Haring's characteristic engagement with both fine art and commercial production methods.
