Keith Haring's 1978 Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks

Keith Haring created a series of graphite drawings on paper in 1978 titled Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks. The American artist, who lived from 1958 to 1990, produced these works measuring 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches (21.6 by 14.0 cm). These drawings are held in the collection of the Keith Haring Foundation, which also holds the copyright. The artwork was documented on artcritical.com on July 1, 2012. Haring's early drawings from this period reveal his developing graphic style before his public murals gained international recognition. The foundation preserves his artistic legacy through its collection and archival efforts.
