A poster for Rain Dance, 1985 (Doring & von der Osten 25)
Offset lithographic poster printed in colours, 1985, signed in black ink and signed again in yellow ink, on wove paper, the full sheet printed to the edges, 787 x 560mm (31 x 22 1/8in) (unframed)
Artists include: Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Yoko Ono.
The year 1984 went down as the 'year of disaster' in Africa's history, with over one million deaths due to starvation alone, and thousands more due to drought, disease and conflict. Haring organised a charity event to benefit UNICEF as a response, for which the present artwork was designed. He recruited Lichtenstein to supply a landscape, Warhol to provide the umbrellas, Basquiat to draw a figure with a poem, and Ono to detail the footprints.
