About the artwork

A vibrant screenprint from 1983, this work features a dynamic, stylized figure rendered in orange with bold black outlines against a bright yellow background. The figure's body is depicted as a series of undulating spirals, conveying a sense of movement and rhythm, characteristic of the artist's visual language. The lower section of the composition includes a teal-colored patterned ground, and the bottom border contains text in pink: "MONTREUX 1983 17 EME FESTIVAL DE JAZZ - JUILLET 8-24". This composition is part of a series of three posters designed by the artist for the 17th Montreux Jazz Festival, held in Montreux, Switzerland. The festival, an annual music event, commissioned various artists to create its promotional materials. The artwork reflects the festive atmosphere of the event through its energetic depiction of a dancing figure, which is a recurring motif in the artist's oeuvre. The use of strong lines and flat, unmodulated colors contributes to the immediate visual impact of the piece.

The artist's prints occupy a distinct position within the contemporary art market, characterized by consistent demand and a broad collector base. Works such as this poster, created for public events, contribute to the artist's market presence by combining his recognizable aesthetic with cultural documentation. The market for the artist's prints has demonstrated sustained upward momentum, with transaction volumes and sales values increasing over recent years. While individual works can vary, the overall market for this artist's editions is considered stable, with a balance between accessibility at entry-level price points and higher values for rarer or more significant pieces. The consistent liquidity and sustained interest from collectors position the artist as a reliable presence in the contemporary print market.

About the artist

Keith Haring (1958-1990) was one of the leading figures of New York urban art in the 1980s. After studying at the School of Visual Arts in New York, he made a name for himself by spontaneously drawing with white chalk on black subway billboards. His playful, immediate and engaging style soon met with great success. His work is deeply influenced by graffiti, comics and street culture, but also by strong political themes: the fight against racism, the prevention of AIDS (from which he died in 1990), and the denunciation of social injustice. Haring firmly believed in the accessibility of art: he opened his Pop Shop in 1986 to make his works affordable, while continuing to produce monumental public works around the world. His works have been exhibited many times, notably in New York in 1982 and in 2013 at the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris.
