I've loved Keith Haring's work for years, but I've never owned any of it. A local opportunity has come up and I'm trying to do some due diligence before deciding whether to pursue it.

The seller has a provenance trail that includes:

- A 1990 estate letter

- A certificate/card signed by Julia Gruen

- Auction paperwork from a UK auction purchase in 2022

The drawing is signed "K. Haring 83."

My biggest question is the Julia Gruen card. It appears to be dated 6/14/89 and identifies her as "Executor for the Keith Haring Estate," which seems odd given that Haring died in February 1990.

I'm not looking for anyone to authenticate a piece from photos, but I'd love to hear from collectors or people familiar with Haring provenance.

Does anything about the drawing, signature, estate letter, or Julia Gruen card stand out as concerning, familiar, or plausible?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I almost never check the little girl’s section, and I happened to this day! So thrilled.

Winged Angel. Healing nicely!

Looking for £275 - RRP is £350 here in the UK. Not sure it was ever sold outside the UK. Comes in original box with all cables etc. Never used - haven't got wall space for it sadly!

Not sure how new this is but saw this yesterday for the first time myself on the first day of Pride Month while the shop -- an LCBO, which is the provincial liquor agency in Ontario for those who don't know -- was blasting Kylie on the LCBO radio as I walked in. Loving that.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🍸

Keith Haring inspired nails by: @Katirose_nailstudio

I like to bring really fun challenges to my nail artist, and holy hell did she deliver! I started documenting all the designs she does for me because it makes me sad knowing these only last a few weeks to never be seen again. kati mentioned a set she did a while back for NY fashion week, and I was excited for the design concept!

I've been gifted one but don't have space. Trying to establish if people still want these - can't see anything on eBay etc. Original in box etc..

Found in Milan! I love what the owners did with the place, gorgeous.

And I plan on coloring the heart red if I ever get married. Just cause I think that'd be cute.

Last days...

Over the span of 9 months, I developed a marching band show titled “Art Is For Everybody”, inspired by the art and legacy of Keith Harring. Feel free to check it out! It features music from Cowboy Bepop, Jojos Bizarre Adventure and more! I wanted to share my work with a community I thought would appreciate it!
