How Much Is My Keith Haring Worth?
The value of a Keith Haring depends on the exact artwork rather than the artist’s name alone. A lifetime-signed print, Estate-authorized edition, complete portfolio, painting, drawing or sculpture can each occupy a very different part of the market.
Important factors can include:
- Medium and year
- Series or image
- Lifetime signature vs. Estate authorization
- Edition size
- Proof type
- Condition
- Provenance
- Littmann catalogue reference
- Publisher
- Rarity
- Recent comparable sales
- Current collector demand
For Keith Haring prints, correctly identifying whether the work is lifetime-signed, Estate-authorized or unsigned can materially affect market value. Current market guides emphasize exactly that distinction.
Recent auction results can provide useful market evidence, but the most relevant comparisons are usually sales of the same work or closely related editions with similar condition and provenance.

Is My Keith Haring Print Original?
Authenticating a Keith Haring print requires more than checking for a signature or edition number. Important details can include the printing technique, paper, dimensions, edition structure, lifetime signature or Estate documentation, publisher marks, provenance and Littmann catalogue reference.
The Keith Haring Foundation dissolved its authentication committee in 2012 and no longer accepts new authentication submissions, making provenance and correct edition identification especially important.

What affects the value of a Keith Haring print?
The value of a Keith Haring print can depend on the exact image, series, edition size, signature, proof type, dimensions, printing technique, condition, provenance, rarity and current collector demand. Prints from different series or editions can occupy very different markets, so identifying the specific work is important before comparing prices.
How do I know if my Keith Haring is authentic?
A Keith Haring artwork should be evaluated using more than a signature or edition number. Important details can include the medium, dimensions, image, edition structure, signature, publisher, printer, provenance and purchase history. For editioned works, the physical artwork should correspond with documented information for the specific edition. Clear photographs and supporting documentation can help begin the research process.

Yes. In addition to prints, we evaluate Keith Haring drawings, paintings, works on paper, sculpture and other unique works. For these artworks, factors such as the exact medium, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, exhibition history and recent comparable sales can be especially important. For works we are actively seeking, we may make a confidential direct purchase offer.
