1982

About the Item

Keith Haring Nuclear Disarmament poster 1982: In 1982 Keith Haring created this poster for Nuclear Disarmament, which features his signature Radiant Baby in a mushroom cloud. This historical work marks Haring's first poster and helped engineer his focus on social activism. On June 2, 1982 Haring transported the stack of posters in a handcart to New York's Central Park, to what was the largest demonstration to date against nuclear weapons & the 1980s global arms race. There were approximately one million protesters and Haring gave his posters away for free (source: Keith Haring: Posters Prestel pub.). A rare example presented here in fine condition. “Babies represent the possibility of the future,” Haring said, “the understanding of perfection, how perfect we could be. There is nothing negative about a baby, ever … The reason that the “baby” has become my logo or signature is that it is the purest and most positive experience of human existence.” A rare example presented here in fine condition. Medium: Offset-lithograph. 1982. Dimensions: 24 x 18 inches (61.27 x 45.72 cm). Very good overall vintage condition with the exception of some minor signs of handling. A fine impression. Printed signature, 'Keith Haring 1982', lower right. Printed signature on lower right; from an edition of unknown; published by the artist; scarce. Obtained from a highly reputable NY private collection. Catalog Raisonne: Keith Haring: Posters (Doring & Von Der Osten) entry 1, p. 106.

    Located in New York, NY
    Robert Rauschenberg and Cris Gianakos RAUSCHENBERG (Scarce and collectible early invitation), 1970 Offset Lithograph Invitation 8 7/10 × 11 9/10 inches Unframed Offset lithograph invitation created on the occasion of Robert Rauschenberg's exhibition at SVA's Visual Arts Gallery in 1970. The poster was designed by Cristos Gianakos, who was also a professor at SVA, and the show was curated by Felice Wender, the director of Dayon's Gallery 12 in Minneapolis. The invitation states that "after completing its New York debut, the show will open at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in January 4, 1971 and continue through January 29, 1971. In May, 1971, Dayton's Gallery 12, Minneapolis, Minnesota will exhibit the new Rauschenberg works..." The text on this invitation additionally states that Rauschenberg said in a written statement about these works: "The image and the words cooperate to construct a flat re-reading of the facts plus familiar passing insignificancies that control our day. Information, originally engaged in a daily rhetorical screen to eliminate as much direct feeling and response as possible, re-exposed to encourage consideration..."
