The Keith Haring Coloring Book is an original vintage coloring book published in New York by Fotofolio / Artpost in 1992. This early posthumous publication was issued by the Estate of Keith Haring and presents the artist’s instantly recognizable imagery in a playful and accessible format.
The book measures approximately 30.2 × 30 cm / 11.9 × 11.8 in and contains 20 pages of bold black-and-white Keith Haring drawings intended to be colored. It is produced as a softcover publication with stapled binding and carries the 1992 copyright of the Estate of Keith Haring. The publication is identified by ISBN 978-1-881270-51-5.
Haring had a long-standing interest in creating art for children and making his imagery accessible outside museums and galleries. His simplified figures, dancing bodies, barking dogs, radiant babies, hearts, and energetic lines translated naturally into books, posters, toys, and other interactive objects.
Although published two years after Haring’s death in 1990, this 1992 edition remains closely connected to the artist’s philosophy of bringing art into everyday life. Original clean and unused examples have become increasingly collectible as vintage Keith Haring publications and pieces of early Estate-produced ephemera.
A strong collectible for admirers of Keith Haring, vintage artist books, coloring books, Pop Art, 1990s artist publications, Keith Haring ephemera, and accessible contemporary art.
