In … more Cigarette brand Lucky Strike commissioned Keith Haring to design a series of posters & advertisements for them in 1987. In turn, Haring submitted 10 pieces in his trademark and unique style, 9 of which were accepted. The 10th piece, Haring wrote in his diary, depicted a smoking skeleton, which Lucky Strike executives were not too pleased with. 5 of the pieces were selected to be printed as limited edition screen prints, and 3 were also released as posters.

This original piece from 1987 is screen printed with 2 colours on thick art stock paper by Serigraphie Uldry Bern of Switzerland and is plate signed by Haring. The piece is in mint condition and has been maintained perfectly over the years.

One of our all time favourite artists, who we get our mantra "art is for everybody" from, this is a wonderful piece of history from his most active period of his life as an artist. This poster is on thick art stock paper and is in mint condition. An original first release, these pieces were created in a limited run of 2000.
