Andy Mouse is the fourth and final print in a portfolio of four silkscreen prints created by Keith Haring in 1986. Widely acclaimed, this series honours Haring’s close friend Andy Warhol.
This print is perhaps the truest visual fusion of Warhol and Mickey Mouse within the portfolio. Occupying a front and symmetrical space in the frame, Andy Mouse stands in an all familiar cartoon position, with his signature overlarge feet and ears. All the hallmarks of Haring’s style – flat, bright colours and broad lines and humour combine to create one of the most stylish pictures. Decades after the portfolio’s creation, the iconography of Andy Mouse endures today in the world of fashion and commercial collaborations.
Andy Mouse highlights Haring’s unique visual style that would see the artist become a mainstay of private collectors, auction houses, galleries and museums worldwide.
