The complete set of six offset lithographs in colours, 1982, on thin wove paper (semi-transparent), the full sheets, in their original black frames, as published, with the Keith Haring stickers with the printed title 'Sali-Adalat' on the backboard.
Haring was commissioned to create this suite of prints by the board members of the Bayer AG on the occasion of the release of the heart medication, 'Sali-Adalat'. There were 70 un-numbered sets in total, with printed signatures. [Keith Haring is also understood to have hand-signed circa 5 sets for the directors of the company]. Exceptionally rare in this condition, the suite complete and unbroken.
