Keith Haring (Reading 1958 – New York City 1990) BRDDR – 24 STUNDEN EFFINET! (November 1989) Signed, dated 89 and annotated ⊕ lower left Published by Galerie Hans Mayer, Düsseldorf Silkscreen in three colors on heavy paper, 82.9 x 59.1 cm Provenance: – Gallery Bébert, Rotterdam - Private collection, the Netherlands Literature: M. Gundel & C. van der Osten, Keith Haring Short Messages – Posters, Prestel, New York, 2002, no. 77, plate 59 Note: Keith Haring made this print in cooperation with Galerie Hans Mayer, in honor of the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. BRDDR represents the merge of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland and the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, and refers to the newly opened border with the timely exclamation, “Open 24 Hours!” printed in both English and German. The print resembles Haring's 300 meter long Berlin Wall Mural that he painted two years earlier. Just as the print, the mural was composed of human figures who were interlinked at their feet and hands. These interconnected human symbols were designed to signify the quest for unity of people, as opposed to the idea of constructing such an obtrusive wall. Haring's choice of colors match those found in the German flag: yellow (representing gold), red and black.
