Retrospect, 1989

Keith Haring’s monumental Retrospect, 1989, functions as a vibrant visual survey of the artist’s instantly recognizable universe. Across twenty-four vividly colored panels, Haring revisits many of his defining motifs—including radiant babies, barking dogs, dancing figures and winged beings—bringing together themes of love, birth, movement, conflict and human connection. Measuring nearly two meters wide, this rare Printer’s Proof, inscribed “PP 1/3,” offers an exuberant synthesis of Haring’s visual language at the culmination of his career.
