Description: From Local Estate - Keith Haring 1982 Framed Poster Untitled (Poster for Nuclear Disarmament) Rare - Hard to Find S. 24 x 18 in. (61 x 45.7 cm) With printed signature, date and copyright symbol, presumably from the edition of approximately 20,000, published by the artist There are pin holes on all 4 sides - not very noticeable - other than that in very good condition White frame - not glass (plastic) USPS Priority Mail Insured - Signature Confirmation On June 2, 1982, New York City saw what was at the time the largest protest in American history: an estimated one million protesters gathered in Central Park and marched through the streets of Manhattan towards the United Nations, calling for the end of nuclear weapons as part of the Nuclear Freeze campaign. For the occasion, Haring used a pushcart to bring a hefty stack of his Poster for Nuclear Disarmament to the park, handing out posters to fellow demonstrators for free. The print depicts apocalyptic scenes of nuclear warfare, featuring his trademark Radiant Baby engulfed in the mushroom cloud of an atomic blast and surrounded by angel-like figures. Through Haring’s characteristic style, bursting with running figures, zigzags, swirls, and the artist’s signature energy lines, the print is suffused with an energetic sense of movement, panic and chaos that reflects the threat of nuclear arms and the urgent need for the public to make a stand for disarmament.
