A Seller’s Guide To Keith Haring

The market for Haring prints has seen a notable resurgence in the first half of 2025. Despite a lower number of lots transacting - 57 versus 71 in H1 2024 - total sales value has climbed sharply, reaching £1.9 million compared to £1.1 million over the same period last year. This 72% increase in value, set against a backdrop of reduced volume, has driven the average sale price to £34,300, up from £23,700 in 2024. It’s the second-highest average on record for the artist - reflecting heightened competition among buyers in a market where supply has tightened considerably.

Haring’s print market has shown continued strength for works that combine iconic imagery, rarity, and strong provenance. While demand spans a range of price points, the prints that consistently achieve the strongest results share several key characteristics.

What Are Haring's Most Recogniseable Symbols?

Works featuring Haring’s best-known symbols - barking dogs, radiant babies, dancing figures - remain the most sought after. Their flat, high-contrast colour and energetic linework have a universal appeal, and this recognisability underpins ongoing collector demand across both entry-level and investment-driven buyers.

Haring's Most Frequently Traded Works: Pop Shop Prints

The Pop Shop series remains a cornerstone of Haring’s print market, tied to the launch of the Pop Shop in 1986 as a direct extension of his democratic approach to art. It is the most actively traded segment of his print portfolio, issued in various formats - individual plates, quads, and complete sets. These works are sought after for their recognisability, accessibility, and strong market presence. For many collectors, they serve as foundational acquisitions, offering consistent liquidity for sellers.

Andy Mouse Market Trends and What’s Driving Value in Haring’s Top Prints

The Andy Mouse prints remain among Haring’s most valuable works. Infused with vibrant colours, playful energy, and iconic motifs, they embody everything Haring collectors are drawn to. Exceptionally rare, these prints also carry historic weight - each is signed by both Haring and Andy Warhol, to whom the series pays homage.

Although average values have dipped slightly in 2025, this reflects limited supply rather than a drop in demand. Following a wave of high-value sales in 2023 and 2024 - including several rare proofs - it’s typical for collections of this rarity and calibre to see a period of quieter market activity.

In the meantime, collector attention has shifted toward other areas of Haring’s market. The Dog series, produced as both screenprints and cut-out sculptural editions in black, red, and yellow, has seen significant momentum. Special proofs in particular have achieved auction results exceeding well over £100,000. Most recently, a black edition sold at Sotheby's May New York sales for $406,400 (USD).

Lower-valued series are also gaining traction. Individual Flowers prints and Fertility Suite works have already appeared more frequently at auction in H1 2025 than across the whole of 2024. For sellers, this signals a potential inflection point - rising visibility and demand, paired with limited availability, suggest these editions are entering a phase of renewed market momentum.

Haring’s edition sizes range from as few as 25 to over 250, creating a tiered market that spans both accessible and high-value works. While smaller editions often imply rarity, value in Haring’s print market is just as influenced by subject matter, format, and collector demand. The Apocalypse series (ed. 90), for instance, remains relatively accessible, with most works selling under £15,000. By contrast, Chocolate Buddha - also an edition of 90 - typically achieves £17,000–£26,000, reflecting stronger alignment with Haring’s signature visual style and consistent buyer appetite.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Haring’s print practice is his use of editioned sculptural formats. Few artists of his era created both 2D screenprints and 3D cutouts of the same motifs. His Dog sculptures were produced in extremely limited editions - just 10 to 15 examples in each colour - alongside a small number of artist and trial proofs. Other three-dimensional works printed on aluminium include Pyramids, issued in varying edition sizes by colour, and occasional Radiant Baby cutouts that surface on the market.

At the other end of the spectrum, Haring also produced exhibition posters in much larger runs - sometimes in large numbered editions, but unumbered formats also exist. While these are less exclusive, they present a more affordable entry point for collectors and reflect his ongoing commitment to accessibility through visual culture.

Haring’s signature is a key factor in both authenticity and value. Most signed prints follow a standard format: numbered, signed “K. Haring” in cursive, and dated with the year of creation. The Stones series, for example, is signed and dated in red ink directly beneath the image. In other collections like Growing and Pop Shop, the signature appears along the right margin, written vertically.

Some Pop Shop prints and quads are signed by Haring, while others bear the signature of his estate executor, Julia Gruen, on the reverse. These Gruen-signed works were issued around the time of or after Haring’s death and are considered authenticated, though they typically carry lower values than those signed by Haring himself. For instance, Pop Shop Quad IV (1989) features Gruen’s signature, while Best Buddies (1990) - a later reproduction of the 1987 Pop Shop original - is signed by both Gruen and Anthony Shriver on the reverse.

One of the most valuable signed series is Andy Mouse, which carries the dual signatures of Haring and Warhol. With Haring signing the lower left and Warhol the lower right, these works command strong market premiums due to their rarity and historical significance.

Signature placement and format vary by collection, but remain central to establishing authenticity and pricing. For sellers, confirming the correct signature - and whether it’s hand-signed by Haring or posthumously authorised - can make a material difference to value.

Condition plays a major role in determining the value of a Haring print. His bold colours and clean lines are highly sensitive to light exposure - making professional framing essential. Always use UV-protective glazing and avoid hanging works in direct sunlight. Poor-quality framing or adhesives can lead to warping, buckling, or long-term surface damage, all of which impact resale value.

Collectors and buyers will often inspect the reverse of a print for any signs of adhesive marks, restoration, or alterations. They’ll also look to verify edition numbers, signatures, and any gallery or publisher stamps - so keeping both sides of the print in pristine condition matters.

If you’re unsure about your print’s condition, seek expert guidance before attempting any cleaning or restoration. MyArtBroker can connect you with trusted conservation professionals - explore The Directory for specialist contacts.
