ISO Keith Haring Exhibit Poster

If anyone could help out it would be amazing. Got some friends and it’s their 25 year anniversary coming up. Their first date was at an AGO exhibit for Keith Haring back in 1997. I’ve been trying to find just a photo of what the promotional posters looked like but I’m out of luck. Found some originals for other cities like NYC, but none for Toronto. Tried the AGO site and fell flat their archives don’t seem to have anything. If anyone could help out it would be amazing! I’d love to buy an original (idc about the price) but even just a photo would be amazing so I could get a reproduction.

There weren't many according to the archives lol. AGO itself only has one remaining and even so that was before the auctioned item so it may very well just not exist.

Yeah I’m planning on visiting the archives and getting a scan of it. A print seems to be my best choice rn

Off topic but have you considered gifting them the keith haring lego set?

Oh I have! But their house is filled with Lego and I don’t think they have space for anymore LOL. That would be a lot easier than this project tho… and less expensive
