Gary Lichtenstein Editions Announces Eric Orr & Keith Haring Collaboration

Gary Lichtenstein Editions has announced the release of a new silkscreen print edition entitled, Repeat. This rare limited edition is the result of a long friendship between the two artists and marks the first of its kind to be authorized by the Keith Haring Foundation.

The edition of 250 silkscreen prints is related to a series of works created in collaboration by Eric Orr and Keith Haring and it features both Orr's "Robot Head" and Haring's iconic, "Radiant Baby."

In 1984, Eric Orr and Keith Haring joined forces to create a series of chalk drawings in the NYC subways. As their work evolved, the artists shifted their focus from the subway to the studio and embarked on the production of a suite of drawings. Included in the group was Repeat which had made its first appearance in the 23rd Street IRT uptown station. Little did Orr and Haring know that the reimagined drawing would be auctioned at Christie's six years later. 2020 heralds a new beginning for Repeat, a truly unique silkscreen print that both illustrates and celebrates a fierce friendship that began in the early 1980s at The Roxy roller rink in NYC, when two young artists decided to trade t-shirts on the dance floor.

Eric and Keith shared the philosophy that wonderful art should be available to the masses... not just the few. In that spirit, Repeat is being released at an affordable price of $500 (limited to one per household).

Each print is hand signed and numbered by Eric Orr, plate signed by Eric Orr and Keith Haring and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Eric Orr and Gary Lichtenstein.

Orders will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. The reservation portal is located at: https://www.gleditions.com/new-releases
