Andy Mouse

Andy Mouse is a series of silkscreen prints created by American artist Keith Haring in 1986.

The series consists of four silkscreen prints on wove paper, released in an edition of 30 per colorway,[1] all signed and dated in pencil by Haring and Warhol.

[3] Andy Warhol rose to prominence as the leading artist of the 1960s Pop art movement.

[5] Warhol's popularity had waned by the late 1970s, but he had a resurgence of success in the 1980s, partially due to his affiliation with prolific younger artists who were dominating the downtown New York art scene.

He gained recognition for his chalk graffiti drawings in the New York City Subway, which led to gallery exhibitions in the early 1980s.

[12] In June 1986, Haring's Andy Mouse silkscreens were exhibited at the B-1 Gallery in Santa Monica, California.

Haring stated: "It’s like treating him [Warhol] like he was part of American culture, like Mickey Mouse was.

"[16] Richard Lloyd, International Head of Prints & Multiples, analyzed that "Andy Mouse is a brilliant culmination of Haring's entire oeuvre.

Its bold graphic quality, complex composition and glorious color are high water marks for the artist.
