A Very Special Christmas is a color screenprint on wove paper created in 1987 and published by A&M Records, Santa Monica, in conjunction with the iconic charity album of the same name. Signed in olive crayon and dated by the artist, this work is noted as not appearing in the Littmann catalogue — conferring it a particular rarity and documentary interest for specialists and collectors of Haring's printed work.
The work exemplifies the vibrant visual language of Keith Haring, one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable artists of the twentieth century. Emerging from the New York street art and club scene of the early 1980s, Haring developed a graphic vocabulary of bold outlines, dynamic figures, and pulsating lines that bridged the worlds of pop culture, activism, and fine art. In A Very Special Christmas, Haring's characteristic exuberance is channeled into a festive yet unmistakably personal composition — infusing a commercial context with the energy, warmth, and humanity that defined his entire practice.
That same graphic energy appears in Untitled (1987), a signed and numbered color lithograph from an edition of 100 in which Haring's bold outlines and rhythmic figures unfold in a compact, immediate format. A larger and earlier example of this vocabulary can be found in Untitled (1985), a color screenprint on vellum paper from an edition of 150, referenced in Littmann's catalogue and drawn from the artist's mature period — both available now at Lynart Gallery.
Preserved with full margins, the work is in excellent condition.
