Meaning & Analysis

Reminiscent of Haring’s Blueprint Drawings series (1990) this print makes explicit references to sex, religion, death and AIDS as a means to confront the viewer with difficult issues of the time. Notably, Untitled features Haring’s iconic motif of the barking dog used to represent abuses of power by government and oppressive regimes that demand obedience.

This series uses the visual language of the artist’s early subway drawings, the colour inverted with black lines against a white backdrop. Speaking of the difference between his subway drawings and his studio prints Haring has said: “I do use a little moral discretion between what I put on the street and what I put on the subway. The things in the studio obviously have more sex. But I think it’s inevitable that the subway drawings have it too because it’s part of my life and part of the rest of the body of work.”

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
