*APC ART is pleased to present Keith Haring’s legendary “Icons” Suite* — a complete, museum-caliber group of silkscreen prints in colors with embossing, measuring *25” x 21” unframed (30” x 26” framed)*, published by *Tony Shafrazi Editions* in *1990* in an edition of *250 plus 25 artist proofs*. Each work is *hand signed, dated, and numbered en verso in black ink by Julia Gruen, Executor of the Keith Haring Estate*, making this suite not only an essential piece of Pop and Street Art history, but also a definitive, posthumous statement of Haring’s visual language at its most distilled and iconic.
Keith Haring is universally regarded as one of the most important figures in *20th century contemporary art* — a rare artist who moved effortlessly between the street and the museum, between mass culture and high culture, while never compromising his message. Emerging from the New York City subway movement, Haring’s chalk drawings became an instant phenomenon, and his meteoric rise placed him in direct dialogue with the defining contemporaries of his era — *Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Hambleton, David Hockney*, and more. Through landmark exhibitions, public interventions, and the radical accessibility of his *Pop Shops*, Haring redefined what art could be: democratic, urgent, joyful, and fearless. Tragically, he fell victim to the AIDS epidemic, and *“Icons”* — published posthumously — is widely viewed as a final, concentrated suite of the symbols that made Haring immortal.
Within this suite, each image operates as both a standalone masterpiece and a chapter in a unified visual narrative — life and death, innocence and danger, power and resistance, the sacred and the profane — all rendered through Haring’s unmistakable line, rhythm, and graphic intensity.
*The Radiant Baby* is the spiritual heart of Haring’s universe — a symbol of pure life force, innocence, and possibility. The radiant lines surrounding the infant are not decoration; they are energy made visible, the suggestion of an inner light pushing outward into the world. In the context of *Icons*, the Radiant Baby becomes even more profound: it reads as a statement of continuity — that love, creativity, and life persist beyond the physical body. It is hope without naïveté, the distilled essence of why Haring’s work remains so emotionally immediate decades later.
*The Barking Dog* is one of Haring’s most famous and culturally loaded symbols — a sharp, graphic emblem of alarm, authority, and protest. The rigid posture and vibrating “sound” lines turn the figure into an active force, as if it is broadcasting urgency into the space around it. Haring often used the dog to point toward power structures — policing, propaganda, control systems — and in this suite it functions like a warning siren: a reminder of the forces Haring confronted throughout his career, and a declaration that his art would never be quiet or complacent.
*The 3 Eyes Monster* is the suite’s most psychologically charged and surreal icon — a creature that feels playful at first glance, but quickly becomes unsettling in its symbolism. The “third eye” suggests heightened perception, intuition, and awareness — seeing what others can’t or won’t see — while the monster form hints at the anxieties of modern life: surveillance, fear, and the unknown. Haring’s genius was his ability to make complex social and emotional realities legible through simple, graphic forms, and the 3 Eyes Monster captures that perfectly: a bright, pop-inflected image that carries an undercurrent of tension, as though consciousness itself has become both a gift and a burden.
*The Angel* represents protection, transcendence, and the spiritual possibility of ascent. With simplified geometry and radiating emphasis lines, the angel reads as a guardian figure — a force of light hovering above the chaos of human experience. In Haring’s later years, spirituality increasingly surfaced in his iconography, and here the Angel becomes a luminous counterweight to darker forces in the suite. It suggests not escape, but elevation — a belief that compassion and human goodness can still rise..
*The Devil* (Winged Figure with X) is the suite’s most poignant confrontation with mortality. The wings suggest transcendence — the possibility of spirit, flight, continuation — while the X-mark introduces erasure, loss, finality, or a body marked by fate. That tension is precisely what gives the image its power: it holds both the reality of death and the refusal to surrender meaning. Rather than tragedy, the work reads as clarity — a visual summation of Haring’s late-period awareness and his ability to transform vulnerability into universal symbolism.
Taken together, *“Icons”* functions as a complete, unified language — the essential Haring lexicon presented at maximum potency. Each icon can stand alone as a masterwork, yet as a suite they become something rarer: a final, concentrated statement from one of the most influential artists of the modern era. The suite is not only historically significant, but emotionally resonant — bold, immediate, and timeless.
The works are presented in *truly excellent condition* and have been *framed to true museum standard*, arriving *ready to be immediately hung and enjoyed*. It has been quite some time since we have seen an *Icons* suite in this caliber of condition and presentation. A complete *condition report is available upon request*, and we are also pleased to offer *white glove delivery and installation anywhere in North America*.
From an acquisition standpoint, this suite represents an *unparalleled* opportunity: a complete, posthumous, estate-signed Keith Haring suite published by Tony Shafrazi Editions — a cornerstone holding that belongs in a museum and has the power to transform any space into a *temple of contemporary art*.
