Keith Haring drawing Japan 1982: Keith Haring executed this rare double drawing in 1982 on behalf of the famed Japanese pop cultural publication: Popeye. The work emanates from the personal collection of the magazine’s editor, with the final versions published in the January 10, 1983 edition of the magazine (included with this work). The imagery of this bold & playful Haring drawing speaks to a unique insight into the artist’s process - one complete with a myriad of Haring’s signature motifs: dancing figures, lizards, televisions, & Haring’s classic three-eyed face - interwoven with bold, classic lines - visual elements at the core of what has established Haring as a seminal artist who continues to transcend time. The handwritten instructions on the right are also by Haring. Signature is bold and well-preserved - all combining for a highly collectible, one of a kind work. Further details as follows: Medium: Felt-tip pen and ink on wove paper, 1982. Dimensions: 14x17 inches. Good overall vintage condition; contains two folded flaps outside drawings; softened vertical creases in flaps; minor signs of handling; minor edge wear at top; pale toning and scattered spotting with some scattered, small mild staining; adhesive/tape residue on the verso. Signed, titled and dated: "82 Nov. 12" in felt-tip pen and ink, right edge recto, with notes in ball-point pen and ink, lower right recto. Handwritten instructions on the right are that of Keith Haring. Provenance: Popeye magazine editor, Tokyo; gifted to a private collection, Tokyo; Swann Auction galleries, New York.
