Arcana:

(HARING, KEITH). Haring, Keith. New York: Tony Shafrazi Gallery, 1983. First Edition. 12mo. Printed Postcard. Exhibition Announcement. Near Fine.. One 6 x 4" postcard printed offset recto and verso, 1 duotone illustration. Designed by Keith Haring. This is the striking postcard announcement published in conjunction with Keith Haring's December 1983 Tony Shafrazi Gallery exhibition - the artist's second one man show at what had become his primary dealer. Haring's short-lived career was then in full ascent from that of an East Village Scene street artist to a rising art-star with international visibility. The face features Tseng Kwong Chi's iconic photograph of dancer Bill T. Jones' painted body collaged against a Haring-painted background, with hand lettering for the event also by the artist. A most handsome, unmailed vintage example of this exceedingly uncommon ephemeral item. Inventory Number: 025340
