Radiant Baby — Red, Yellow & Green by Keith Haring is a vintage artist pin featuring one of the artist’s most recognizable and enduring symbols: the crawling Radiant Baby.

The rectangular badge measures approximately 8 × 6 cm / 3.1 × 2.4 in and features a black crawling baby set against a striking red, yellow, and green background. The piece is constructed as printed paper / cardboard with a metal pin fitting on the reverse and is not hand-signed or individually numbered.

The Radiant Baby first emerged as an important symbol in Haring’s early New York subway drawings and became closely associated with the artist throughout his career. Haring described the baby as an image of innocence, purity, goodness, and human potential. Its simple crawling form surrounded by energetic lines became one of the defining images of his visual vocabulary.

The bold red, yellow, green, and black color combination gives this larger-format pin a particularly strong graphic presence. Like Haring’s other buttons, pins, clothing, and everyday objects, pieces of this type reflect his desire to make art accessible outside the traditional gallery environment.

A distinctive vintage collectible for admirers of Keith Haring, Radiant Baby imagery, 1980s artist merchandise, vintage badges, Pop Art, New York street culture, and artist ephemera.
