Highly desirable 4 x 5.75 promotional postcard for a Keith Haring exhibit entitled 'Recent Work,' held at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York City from December 3, 1988 to January 7, 1989, with front showing Haring as a 12-year-old in 1970 Kutztown, Pennsylvania, signed in black felt tip, "K. Haring, 88," who adds his circle-cross symbol and a large figure standing to the left side with outstretched arms. In fine condition, with faint toning to the upper left corner. Accompanied by provenance letters noting that the postcard derives from the personal estate of Dorothy Berenson Blau, who was both Haring's friend and Miami art dealer. A wonderful signed postcard of Haring with terrific original sketch and a handsome image of the artist as a youngster—a poignant offering given that Haring was diagnosed with AIDs in 1988.
