Meaning & Analysis

The print depicts the Lucky Strike packaging with cigarettes protruding from the box in swirling shapes. A hand rendered in orange touches the box on the edges, holding it from the bottom. The Lucky Strike box, cigarettes, and human hand, as the main elements of the print, are all outlined in bold black lines, the use of which became Haring’s trademark already at an early stage of his career associated with such works as Untitled (1982).

Like all screen prints in the series, Lucky Strike was signed in plate by the artist. Similarly to works included in Absolut, Haring’s first series created for brand advertising purposes, the recognizable cartoon-like imagery is accompanied here by a vibrant colour palette. The print juxtaposes white, orange, and red elements against a blue background, a combination evocative of the creative energies of the 1980s street culture that inspired Haring across his career.

  • Keith Haring was a luminary of the 1980s downtown New York scene. His distinctive visual language pioneered one-line Pop Art drawings and he has been famed for his colourful, playful imagery. Haring's iconic energetic motifs and figures were dedicated to influencing social change, and particularly challenging stigma around the AIDS epidemic. Haring also pushed for the accessibility of art by opening Pop Shops in New York and Japan, selling a range of ephemera starting from as little as 50 cents. Haring's legacy has been cemented in the art-activism scene and is a testament to power of art to inspire social change
