Meaning & Analysis
The Blueprint Drawings 12 from 1990 is a limited edition of 33 from Keith Haring’s The Blueprint Drawings series, completed the year of the artist's tragic death by AIDS.
Originally produced as unique works on paper with Sumi ink, Haring displayed these works in a one-week exhibition in Manhattan in 1980 where not a single drawing was sold. However, he did find success in the sale of several blueprint copies of the original drawings and so revisited the subject in 1990, a month before his tragic death creating a portfolio of 17 screen prints of the original images.
Throughout the series Haring revisits recurring pictograms to communicate complex ideas through a simplistic visual language.
