Keith Haring Dancing Figures Mixed media on paper

Updated September 1, 2026

Artwork Title: Dancing Figures and Television Technique: Mixed media on paper Measures: 10 × 8 inches (25.4 × 20.3 cm) Year: 1985, based on the visible “85” inscription Condition: Good overall condition. The work presents strong black-and-white contrast with clearly defined linear imagery throughout. Minor handling wear and surface irregularities consistent with a work on paper may be present. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description. Provenance: Private collection; reportedly discovered in a New York warehouse. Visual Description: A graphic black-and-white composition organized into two horizontal registers and populated by animated human and animal-like figures. The upper section incorporates a smiling television, light bulb, flying saucer, energetic figures, and radiating marks, while the lower section depicts multiple dancing figures surrounding a central raised figure. The imagery is executed in bold white linear forms against a black ground. The upper right bears the inscription “85,” and the work bears an inscription reading “K. Haring” along the right side. COLLECTOR'S NOTE: This hand-created artwork offers collectors an opportunity to enjoy the visual language, technique, composition, and artistic characteristics associated with the named artist at a substantially more accessible price point than authenticated works by that artist, which may command significantly higher prices in the established fine-art market. Offered “in the style of” the named artist, the work should be appreciated and valued on its own merits as a hand-created piece inspired by an important artistic tradition. It provides an accessible way to acquire a visually compelling artwork reflecting the aesthetic qualities associated with a celebrated artist without the price expectations attached to an authenticated work.
