Description
Artist: KEITH HARING (1958-1990) & ANDY WARHOL (1928-1987)
Size: 27 1/2 x 39 1/4 in./69.8 x 100 cm
Condition: A/ P.
Printer: Albin Uldry, Berne
Reference:
Key Words: Modern; Music
Haring's silkscreened poster for the 20th Montreux Jazz Festival in '86 was actually a collaboration with Andy Warhol, and bears the total signature of the aesthetic of that moment – formal appropriations, cartoon forms, neon colors, and a deep African-American pop vibe. It clearly worked – the festival was sold out before the stage lights turned on. The poster clearly transmutes the musical moment: Anita Baker, Simply Red, Sade, and Wayne Shorter were on hand that year.
