Description

"When I was 15, I wanted to be an artist so I drew all the time"

Rare ALS signed “Keith,” one page, 8.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, no date. Letter to "Michael," discussing his growth as an artist and offering advice. In full: "Thanks for your letter. I draw every day. When I was 15, I wanted to be an artist so I drew all the time. It was my only visible talent. Whatever you want to do, the only secret is to believe in it and satisfy yourself. Don't do it for anyone else." Nicely cloth-matted and framed with a depiction of his famous 'Andy Mouse' character to an overall size of 15 x 24.5. In fine condition. Letters by Haring are very scarce, this being just the sixth we have offered—this example is augmented by its desirable content on becoming an artist.
