Throughout his brief but influential career, Haring carefully crafted a unique visual language that he consistently used across various media.
This vibrant and playful visual language captured the public's imagination to such an extent that Haring’s imagery was quickly commercialised and became globally recognized. Reflecting this widespread appeal, Icons isolates Haring's most famous motifs from their busy contexts, allowing viewers to appreciate them as distinct characters. Created in the year of Haring's death, the portfolio serves as a powerful summary of his life’s work in its most distilled form, aptly earning the title Icons.
Monster highlights Haring’s unique visual style that would see the artist become a mainstay of private collectors, auction houses, galleries and museums worldwide.15de 22
