• Keith Haring (American, 1958-1990).
• San Francisco June 5th, 1986.
• Offset lithograph.
• This work is presented framed.

During the time Haring was creating a mural for the St. Patrick's Day Care Center San Francisco, he painted several canvases to be installed above the bar at the famed Club DV8. Performance artist John Sex, whose name appears on the poster, was one of Haring's close friends.

"Haring’s work has long been a part of San Francisco’s ocular culture. He created works for diverse venues in San Francisco during his lifetime, including murals for DV8, a club once located in the South of Market neighborhood, and a huge, multi-panel painting for the South of Market Child-care Center (also known as the Saint Patrick’s Daycare Center). Haring’s outdoor sculpture Untitled (Three Dancing Figures 1989), located at Third and Howard Streets, is a prominent feature of Moscone Convention Center, and his triptych altarpiece The Life of Christ (1990) is installed in the AIDS Chapel at Grace Cathedral."
