Keith Haring Growing (Plate 4), 1988 

Vibrant, energetic, and instantly recognizable, Growing (Plate 4) exemplifies Keith Haring’s iconic visual language—bold black lines, rhythmic movement, and symbolic figures pulsing with life. Set against a striking yellow ground, the composition radiates outward from a central red focal point, evoking themes of vitality, expansion, and interconnectedness that define Haring’s work from the late 1980s.

A compelling addition for collectors of contemporary and pop art, this print embodies the immediacy and universal appeal that have made Keith Haring one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Keith Haring Growing (Plate 4), 1988 is part of a portfolio of five screenprints in the artist’s Growing Portfolio of 1987. This body of work depicts fragments of figures rendered in the artist’s signature style dismantled and reconstructed to create enormous singular forms that dominate their compositions. Also featured in Keith Haring's Growing portfolio are Growing (Plate 1), Growing (Plate 2), Growing (Plate 3), Growing (Plate 4), and Growing (Plate 5).

Created in 1987, this silkscreen is hand-signed by Keith Haring (Reading, 1958 – New York, 1990) in pencil in the center right image and numbered from the edition of 80 in pencil in the center right image.
