Keith haring - original drawing Advice please, by Wanchope on Sept 18, 2022 10:39:09 GMT 1, I guess that’s how I felt, but honestly not sure how a buyer would ever truly know if a haring was fake or real. I think I’ll steer clear, cheers for the input

Keith haring - original drawing Advice please, by esfer on Dec 21, 2022 2:08:27 GMT 1, Hi.
I don't know if you still want feedback about this drawing, but I wouldn't touch this 100% fake under any circumstances.
The way you know if something is real or fake is by doing the research about an artist. Get to know their market. That knowledge is your best defense against being ripped off.
This work doesn't bear the hallmarks of a genuine work by Haring. The signature doesn't look like a Haring signature (and doesn't even seem to spell Haring). Haring did drawings on paper, but that's where the similarities end.
In short...this is very likely a fake Keith Haring drawing.
No amount of "COA's or gallery authentication" will change this into a genuine Haring drawing.
Basically, don't trade or purchase this, unless you love it as a drawing in the style of Keith Haring.
Sadly, there are many more fake Haring drawings and paintings than there are originals.

Keith haring - original drawing Advice please, by LJCal on Dec 21, 2022 15:12:27 GMT 1, It’s not difficult to buy legit Haring, I’ve bought dozens over the years including drawings, yes there are loads of fakes but if you buy works at a tenth of market value from shady galleries and auction houses then of course you’re going to get a fake.

Keith haring - original drawing Advice please, by Art Collector 11 on Jan 14, 2023 15:19:27 GMT 1, Where do you all see the Keith Haring editions like those from his 1990 signed print edition of Story of Red and Blue edition going? Similar to the attached;
www.artsy.net/artwork/keith-haring-the-story-of-red-and-blue-xi-1
These pieces look like classic recognizable Keith Haring pieces recognized by all but seem to still be affordable. What I’ve seen they are all blind stamped, signed by artist and authenticated in the rear by the Estate of Keith Haring.

example are signed by Keith Haring in the front of the piece, then signed by the estate in the rear.

These weren't signed by Keith to my knowledge, certainly the regular edition as published after his death, some plates have a printed signature that looks like a pencil signature. That being said there maybe some proofs floating around that were signed prior to publishing but I'd expect they command a healthy premium. |

Keith haring - original drawing Advice please, by Art Collector 11 on Jan 14, 2023 22:28:59 GMT 1, Well that is not accurate, I have one signed by Keith Haring from that same example linked above. Julia Gruen signed the reverse but Keith signed in pencil the front.

The OP is fake stamp
