Keith Haring Print Appraisal

Keith Haring 'Untitled' (Plate From 'The Valley') Offset Lithograph

This item is a limited edition offset lithograph print by the renowned American artist and social activist Keith Haring. The piece features the artist’s characteristic bold, black line-work against a vibrant yellow background, enclosed within a maroon and gold-toned decorative border. The central composition is a chaotic, dense 'horror vacui' scene populated by fantastical creatures, anthropomorphic figures, and symbolic imagery typical of Haring's late 1980s style. Notable details include a facsimile signature 'Keith Haring' in the lower right margin, alongside a numbered edition out of 300 (notated as 1/300 in the lower left). Additionally, the piece features the 'Estate of Keith Haring' stamp/logo in the lower left corner. The paper is a heavy-weight white stock with ample margins. Based on the visual evidence and stylistic hallmarks, this plate originates from 'The Valley' series (published circa 1989-1990), which showcased Haring’s collaboration with writer William S. Burroughs. The print appears to be in excellent condition with no visible foxing, tears, or significant fading, though it should be examined out of frame for a full assessment of potential hinge residues or paper oxidation. The craftsmanship reflected in the sharp, saturated lines indicates a high-quality commercial print production from the era of his estate's active posthumous oversight.
