Story / Additional InfoKeith Haring poster for Nuclear Disarmament 1982: In 1982 Haring created this poster for Nuclear Disarmament in conjunction with a New York City Anti-Nuclear Rally. The piece features Haring's signature Radiant Baby in a mushroom cloud. Babies represent the possibility of the future, Haring said, the understanding of perfection, how perfect we could be. There is nothing negative about a baby, ever. The reason that the Babyhas become my logo or signature is that it is the purest and most positive experience of human existence. A rare example presented here in fine condition.
