Pyramid Sculpture, 1989

Keith Haring’s Pyramid Sculpture is a monumental edition that integrates the archetypal pyramid form into his iconic visual language. As a recurring motif in his work, it merges archaic symbolism with the dynamic aesthetics of 1980s street art. The three-dimensional object, composed of four anodized aluminum panels, reflects Haring’s densely interwoven compositions. Inspired by pharaonic tombs, he places individual figures atop the pyramid’s peaks, where they sit like deities above a labyrinthine network of symbols. Pyramid Sculpture combines historical references with a contemporary visual style, showcasing Haring’s engagement with universal symbolism.
