Published by the Outreach Fund for AIDS in 1989, this silkscreen on paper features several of Haring's iconic figures in shiny silver ('see no evil', 'hear no evil, 'speak no evil'), repeated and superimposed over a pink triangle, a symbol of the gay rights movement, with a dark black background. After being diagnosed with AIDS in the late 1980s, Haring became a vocal member of activist group ACT UP, which used the pink triangle as it's logo and the slogan "SILENCE = DEATH". Haring worked on several promotional projects for ACT UP in his late career.
Signed, numbered and dated by Keith Haring, additionally with the artist's insignia.
