Keith Haring Bad Boys 2 (Littmann PP. 58) For Sale

Edition

Edition of 30

Keith Haring’s Bad Boys series, created in 1986, features artworks with sinuous lines that form a mountainous landscape of male orifice, a homoerotic fantasy of Courbet’s L’Origine du Monde. True to a fantasy, Haring’s Bad Boys works leaves less for imagination than the French Realist’s: the body becomes a game of geometry and abstraction, a land of myriad possibilities in the artist’s hands. Stripping the body off of flesh however does not mean its sexuality is to be erased either. Signs of pleasure are traceable while the source of exhilaration becomes the focal point.
