Beschreibung
A bold 1987 screenprint by Keith Haring, featuring his iconic graphic style and commentary on consumer culture through the lens of a classic tobacco brand.
Keith Haring produced Lucky Strike in 1987, a period when his visual language had become globally recognisable. The work features his signature thick black outlines and bold, flat colour fields. Haring often utilised commercial imagery to comment on consumer culture, and this piece adopts the branding of a well-known tobacco company to explore themes of addiction and modern life.
The composition is dominated by a stylised figure, rendered with the energetic, rhythmic line quality that defined Haring's practice. The figure is depicted with multiple eyes and a cigarette, with smoke curling upward in a manner typical of his graphic shorthand. The use of a bright, acidic green background contrasts with the red and blue elements, creating a sense of visual urgency. Haring's work frequently bridged the gap between fine art and street culture, and this print reflects his ability to distil complex social critiques into accessible, iconic forms.
This screenprint demonstrates the artist's technical precision in printmaking. The registration of the colours is exact, allowing the bold shapes to sit cleanly against one another without overlapping. Haring's approach to the human form here is non-naturalistic, favouring symbolic representation over anatomical accuracy. By stripping away unnecessary detail, he directs the viewer's attention to the core elements of the composition. The result is a direct, punchy image that retains the immediacy of his earlier subway drawings while benefiting from the controlled medium of the screenprint. This piece remains a representative example of his output during the late 1980s, capturing the intersection of commercial branding and personal expression that characterised much of his later career.

Artist Biography
Keith Haring
Haring learned to draw from his father, an amateur cartoonist who worked as an engineer in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. The two of them would sit together making pictures. Walt Disney and Charles Schulz were the reference points. That combination of cartoon simplicity and obsessive repetition stayed with him.
He moved to New York in 1978 to attend the School of Visual Arts and within two years had found his medium: white chalk on the matte black paper that covered unused advertising panels in subway stations. He drew in the stations almost every day between 1980 and 1985, sometimes producing forty drawings in a single session. Commuters watched. The police arrested him repeatedly for vandalism. The drawings kept appearing.
The subway work made him famous before galleries did. Radiant babies, barking dogs, crawling figures, flying saucers: a vocabulary of shapes repeated and recombined like a visual language. The line work was fast and confident and looked easy, which was part of the point. He wanted art that anyone could read immediately. In 1986 he opened the Pop Shop in SoHo, selling t-shirts, posters, and badges with his designs at prices people could actually pay. The art world called it selling out. Andy Warhol, who had been doing exactly the same thing for twenty years, supported him.
He was diagnosed with HIV in 1987 and with AIDS the following year. The last works are direct: the 'Ignorance = Fear' poster for ACT UP, the Barcelona mural 'Todos Juntos Podemos Parar el SIDA', the horned sperm figure that became his symbol for the virus. He set up the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989 to fund AIDS organisations and children's programmes. He died in February 1990, at thirty-one. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered in a field near Kutztown, close to where he first sat drawing with his father.
