HEADSTAND- SCULPTURE BY KEITH HARING 3D print model

The 7 metre high iron sculpture weighing 11 tonnes called ‘Untitled (Headstand)’, was created in 1988 and it depicts two breakdancing figures in Haring’s inimitable style. He was working during the 1980s when the energy and innovative environment of the times created a boom in music, dance, fashion and art. Haring was fascinated by the choreographed breakdancing routines and street dancing which he translated into a series of unique sculptural pieces. Between 1985 and 1989, he created 13 such monumental sculptures, which were exhibited on Park Avenue in New York in 1997, 10 years later. The piece now in Ibiza, Untitled (Headstand) was one of the sculptures from this exhibition, and truly represents the form of ‘breakdancing’. The sculpture is part of the exhibition currently on show at La Nave Salinas, founded by New York art collector and dealer Lio Malca in an old salt warehouse. Keith Haring was an American artist who drew on issues and images from popular culture in the late 70s and 80s. He died in 1990 in New York at the age of 32. The sculpture can be seen on Joan Carles I in Marina Botafoch, directly opposite Heart and the Casino until September 30.
