This artwork is in very good condition, with no major faults to report. There is a 1mm black mark upper right hand side of the pink triangle, this appears to be a printing imperfection and not a condition issue. There is a very small brown stain lower left. There is a hair within the printing process located in one of the silver figures upon the pink triangle. Very minor handling marks to the edges. Colour is true and bold. This artwork is well framed, with wear to the edges. Frame measures 103 x 103cm.

Keith Haring was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988. In the last year of his life he worked to produce imagery surrounding the social activism of the AIDS crisis. Silence = Death is an adaptation of a poster made by a collective of the same name that would eventually become the defining image for ACT UP, an organization created to fight for visibility and an end to the AIDS crisis.
