Haring's art and life typified youthful exuberance and fearlessness. While seemingly playful and transparent, Haring dealt with weighty subjects such as death, sex and war, enabling subtle and multiple interpretations. This is part of a suite of 10 silkscreen prints. When the artist was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, he collaborated with The “Beat Era” poet and novelist, William S. Burroughs on this Apocalypse series, which offers an insight into Haring’s personal struggle with the disease.
