Untitled (Red Arching Figure)
Untitled (Red Arching Figure) is an unique metal sculpture by Keith Haring, made for his exhibition with the great gallerist Leo Castelli in New York in 1985. It was subsequently purchased by the artist Kenny Scharf, remaining in his collection for many years. The arching figure depicts a boy breakdancing and extends the artist's practice by bringing scenes from the street indoors. It was one of the first such sculptures to be made by the artist during the period 1985-1989.
