Portrait Of Joseph Beuys - by Keith Haring framed art prints

Keith Haring Portrait of Joseph Beuys 1986 is a distinctive print created as part of a portfolio of 30 works by various artists commemorating the death of Joseph Beuys, one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century. The portfolio was jointly published by Bern Klüser and Jörg Schellmann to honour Beuys and his significant contribution to contemporary art.

In this Keith Haring print, Haring references Beuys’ major environmental project 7000 Oaks – City Forestation Instead of City Administration, in which 7,000 oak trees were planted in Kassel, Germany. Haring combines Beuys’ face with the trunk of an oak tree, creating a symbolic tribute through rounded brown lines set against an organic-looking background.

Unlike many of Haring’s more colourful and energetic works, Portrait of Joseph Beuys features a subdued colour palette and the recognisable face of a real person. Nevertheless, the simplified forms and expressive lines remain characteristic of Keith Haring’s artwork, while the flowing tree-bark lines create a subtle sense of movement. This rare Keith Haring art print offers a unique connection between two influential figures in contemporary art.
