A Seller’s Guide To Keith Haring

2025 has marked a strong moment for the Haring market. Despite a slightly lower number of lots (57 versus 71 in H1 2024), total sales value climbed to £1.9 million, a 72% year-on-year increase. This lifted the average sale price to £34,300 – the second-highest on record for the artist. The figures reflect tightened supply, increased buyer competition, and a renewed focus on both iconic and undervalued works.

Hindman Auction Records (2025)

New records were recently set for two works at Hindman:

1. Flowers (Yellow) – £28,652
2. Flowers (Blue) – £26,264

The Flowers collection ranks among Haring’s highest‑valued and rarest series. While his prints have appeared at the major auction houses this year, these record results achieved at Hindman underscore both the breadth of his market and the increasing availability of Haring works across a wider range of venues.

Haring’s print market has shown continued strength for works that combine iconic imagery, rarity, and strong provenance. While demand spans a range of price points, the prints that consistently achieve the strongest results share several key characteristics.

What Are Haring's Most Recogniseable Symbols?

Works featuring Haring’s best-known symbols - barking dogs, radiant babies, dancing figures - remain the most sought after. Their flat, high-contrast colour and energetic linework have a universal appeal, and this recognisability underpins ongoing collector demand across both entry-level and investment-driven buyers.

Haring's Most Frequently Traded Works: Pop Shop Prints

The Pop Shop series remains a cornerstone of Haring’s print market, tied to the launch of the Pop Shop in 1986 as a direct extension of his democratic approach to art. It is the most actively traded segment of his print portfolio, issued in various formats - individual plates, quads, and complete sets. These works are sought after for their recognisability, accessibility, and strong market presence. For many collectors, they serve as foundational acquisitions, offering consistent liquidity for sellers.

Andy Mouse Market Trends and What’s Driving Value in Haring’s Top Prints

The Andy Mouse prints remain among Haring’s most valuable works. Infused with vibrant colours, playful energy, and iconic motifs, they embody everything Haring collectors are drawn to. Exceptionally rare, these prints also carry historic weight - each is signed by both Haring and Andy Warhol, to whom the series pays homage.

Although average values have dipped slightly in 2025, this reflects limited supply rather than a drop in demand. Following a wave of high-value sales in 2023 and 2024 - including several rare proofs - it’s typical for collections of this rarity and calibre to see a period of quieter market activity.

Meanwhile, collector attention has shifted toward other areas of Haring’s market. The Dog series, produced as both screenprints and cut-out sculptural editions in black, red, and yellow, has seen significant momentum. Special proofs have achieved auction results exceeding £100,000. Most recently, a black edition sold at Sotheby's May New York sales for $406,400 (USD).

Haring’s edition sizes range from 25 to over 250, creating a tiered market that spans accessible to high-value works. While smaller editions suggest rarity, value is equally shaped by subject, format, and collector demand. For example, Apocalypse (ed. 90) remains relatively affordable, with most works under £15,000, while Chocolate Buddha – also ed. 90 – typically commands £17,000–£26,000 due to stronger alignment with Haring’s iconic style.

One unique aspect of Haring’s practice is his use of sculptural editions. Works like the Dog cutouts – produced in editions of 10 to 15 per colour – and aluminium prints like Pyramids or Radiant Baby are especially scarce and desirable.

At the opposite end, large-run exhibition posters (some numbered, many not) offer more affordable entry points, reflecting Haring’s commitment to accessible art.

A signature is a key factor in determining both authenticity and value. Most prints are hand-signed “K. Haring” in cursive, numbered, and dated – often vertically along the margin or beneath the image, depending on the series. For example, the Stones series is signed in red ink directly below the image, while works from Growing and Pop Shop are typically signed along the right edge.

Some Pop Shop prints and quads bear the signature of Julia Gruen, Haring’s estate executor, on the reverse. These were issued around or after Haring’s death and are considered authenticated, though they usually command lower prices than works signed by Haring himself. For instance, Pop Shop Quad IV (1989) features Gruen’s signature, while Best Buddies (1990) is signed by both Gruen and Anthony Shriver.

The Andy Mouse series carries dual signatures from Haring and Andy Warhol – a rare pairing that significantly elevates both value and historical importance.

While placement and format vary by edition, confirming whether a print is hand-signed or estate-authenticated remains essential to establishing market value.

Condition significantly impacts the value of a Haring print. His vivid colours and crisp lines are especially vulnerable to light damage, making UV-protective glazing and professional framing essential. Avoid direct sunlight and poor-quality materials that can cause warping or surface damage over time.

Buyers often inspect the reverse for adhesive marks, restorations, or missing stamps – so maintaining both sides of the print is important.
