Haring’s work is valuable, and has clearly created a temptation for forgery that has proven too hard for some to resist. Keith Haring died in 1990, and bequeathed his collection of his own art, and all copyrights and trademarks in his case, to the Keith Haring Foundation. While this case is resolved pending any appeal, the high-stakes nature of contemporary art assures that it will not be the last. The case is the latest in a series of civil cases related to the authentication of art-contemporary art in particular.
The lawsuit arising out of the Keith Haring Foundation’s refusal to authenticate a painting a Haring work, and the Foundation’s related efforts to prevent the exhibition of works it did not consider to be authentic, has been dismissed.
