KEITH HARING

Fantastic Keith Haring animation production cel for the Sesame Street cartoon 5 Dancing Men or Breakdancers as they are often known.
This is a complete matched set with the animation cel and the drawing #356.
This is also known as a Key Master Setup.
With each cel being a unique one of a kind frame, this set is especially great as the dancers all have a great pose and movement to them.
Keith Haring started the project with Sesame Street and it was later completed by the Keith Haring Foundation.
This hand painted production cel was created by Artbear Pigmentation Studio, Bill and Linda Davis who meticulously transformed Haring’s original character design and concepts into traditional hand drawn animation.
The production drawing is in graphite pencil on studio animation paper.
The production cel features hand inked line work on the front in black and white paint is applied to the back of the clear acetate sheet.
Both pieces have the three hole animation registration markers used to keep the frames aligned under camera.
The artwork was part of Season 23, episode #3050.
These were hand created frame by frame before digital or AI technology to create continuous sequences.

CONDITION: Excellent condition overall. The animation cel is excellent with light handling marks if any present at all. The animation drawing has a small piece of white tape on back.
