Meaning & Analysis
Completed the year of the artist’s tragic death by AIDS in 1990, The Blueprint Drawings 6 is a print from Keith Haring’s The Blueprint Drawings series and is a limited edition of 33.
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.
