Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by Random Ginger Bloke on May 3, 2021 13:30:16 GMT 1, thx @sistybells so they got back 2 me and itโs 600$ usd 2 ship now as ems post is halted (covid) n shipping alone is now 12k yen, poster at 55k yen, so thatโs a little over 600$ american..... he said heโs invoicing me n there r a โfewโ left whatever that means lol! Ahhh, they were about ยฃ300 delivered at the end of last year and have been raising the price incrementally as the last of the stock is sold. Tough call, but I can vouch for the fact that it is a very beautiful thing. A fair few on here have suggested this is a scam, but after my dealings with the gallery, and inspecting the item Iโm inclined to believe that they are legitimately from the original print run. Good luck!

Good luck! Agree that these are stunning in the flesh, photos just donโt do them justice. I fully believe that a gallery with 30+ years heritage isnt going to risk itโs reputation on fake posters |

Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by crackiswack on May 3, 2021 14:33:54 GMT 1, This is interesting, I didnโt realise that they were still being provided from the source even now. This particular piece was purchased from a gallery framed and was clearly in a great condition but was aged.
I was aware that they were in a limited edition of 1000, but unnumbered. I do hope they arenโt printing beyond the 1000, the gallery I had purchased from had assured me that the printing had been done and the works in circulation.
I wasnโt aware that they were available for that sort of price and certainly wasnโt interested in โflipping itโ the reality is I paid very close to the price of what I was asking to and expected people to probably haggle down, of course not wanting to make a loss.
To cause offence was not my goal.

Keith Haring Galerie Watari Poster For Sale, by Skizz 82 on May 3, 2021 21:41:59 GMT 1, I agree with all the comments and I've too one of those poster (bought from watary in 2020), the only honest doubt is the aging of the print. Mine is in perfect condition, almost hard to believe it's 40 years old. This from redhouse gallery have a bit of logic yellowing. However I agree that the photos do not do it honor and it is fantastic in the flesh

They are pristine as they were kept In storage for so long. The handful, if any, of the ones left are in poorest condition/damaged returns. They were slow to sell as not much meat on the bone resell.

They a wee amount of yellowing on the back. But yes pristine image and waiting for my framing to be done..
The gallery did mention some of the remaining were slightly damaged. Donโt think they are selling those though

Mine showed slight age on the rear.

No. Things get lost. I've purchased many things from galleries and museums that they found in boxes in the basement decades later. My favorite was the first book by the poet Rene Ricard. Originally published in like 1978 by the DIA Art Foundation, they found an original, sealed box of them in the basement a few years ago. Perfectly mint copies for $50, which was an absolute steal.

I've been very happy with mine for the past few months. Many thanks to the original thread poster!

Since you are a new member, explore the forum, there is a much longer thread from late last summer. Your questions have been asked, answered, debated ad nauseam in the other Watari threads. Those who have purchased this seem to love it. I imagine sourcing this same paper 30-40 years later to coordinate a reprinting would be difficult. Doesnโt matter.

Itโs actually not. There was a thread about them a year or so before when OnSundays posted about them on Instagram. I tried to buy then but couldnโt navigate the page so gave up. Only when itโs was resurrected on the 2020 thread I chased a little harder.
