"Untitled" is a woodcut created by Keith Haring in 1983. Reflecting the artist’s tableau style of the period, this work vividly showcases the influence of his early days as a street artist, capturing a dynamic expression of intimacy and movement.
Haring’s signature matchstick figures move across the composition, their flexible arms reaching toward one another. Although they lack detailed hands, the connection between them is unmistakable, highlighted by a green spark where they meet. The bold and fluid lines of the composition create an interconnected, holistic image that mirrors the closeness of the figures. Rather than being contained within a frame, the figures extend beyond it, with one hand of each figure reaching out of the image, symbolising their connection to each other and the world beyond.
Untitled highlights Haring’s unique visual style that would see the artist become a mainstay of private collectors, auction houses, galleries and museums worldwide.
