Rarity: Get yourself a piece of Pop Art history!

You can currently purchase the complete graphic portfolio “Icons” by Keith Haring from 1990 in very good condition. The five-part series of silkscreens with embossed printing was printed in a limited edition of 250 copies. 
The portfolio was published by Tony Shafrazi Editions in New York and also bears the publisher's dry stamp in the lower left corner. Haring uses his characteristic “energy lines” to present his most famous figures in this series. With broad contour lines that are embossed to create a shiny black sheen, he outlines, for example, the crawling baby, a symbol of joie de vivre and innocence, or the barking dog, an accuser against the injustices of the world. 
 Keith Haring's characteristic visual language has made him world-famous and is also a pleasure to look at in these large prints. His images are part of the visual memory of industrialized nations and are now printed on T-shirts, mugs etc. - but only very, very few have an ORIGINAL by Haring on their wall. 

The prints bear the stamped certificate of authenticity on the back, signed by the executor of the estate, Julia Gruen. The graphic series was conceived by Haring himself during his lifetime. However, production could only be completed after his death, which is why all the prints in the entire edition are signed by the artist estate, although this does not detract from the value of this portfolio.

Whatever he presented tended to spread quickly, to multiply, to be applied universally. Like the pictograms and signets in the merchandise circus, like Mickey Mouse or the spinach-eating Popeye, Haring's 'trademarks' have the same effect. He calls them 'icons': the barking dog in the halo, the crawling baby, the yellow angel, the red superman with the dragon wings. Two graphic series are dedicated to these 'icons', one brightly colored and one colorless ('White Icons'). In 1990, shortly before his death, Haring chose the techniques of screen printing and embossing, giving them in one case the rich sheen of enamel signs and in the other the mysterious aura of devotional images before which one lowers one's eyes.
