What makes the BERLIN MURAL 1986 N1 print significant?
This piece reproduces Keith Haring’s 1986 mural on the Berlin Wall. It represents a call for unity between East and West, featuring his iconic interlocking human figures. It is a cornerstone of contemporary street art history and Cold War era activism.
What are the specifications of the framing?
The print is housed in a premium 20mm (0.79") thick frame made from responsibly sourced black oak and ash wood. This is sturdier and wider than the standard 14mm frames commonly found elsewhere, providing a gallery-ready aesthetic.
Is the paper used for this Haring print archival quality?
Yes. We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival museum-quality paper. It is uncoated and matte, ensuring it does not yellow over time and maintains the artist's original color intent without reflective glare.
How is the artwork protected during shipping and display?
Each framed print is protected by transparent, shatterproof plexiglass. This provides the clarity of glass with significantly increased durability, ensuring your museum-quality reproduction arrives safely and remains protected from environmental damage.
Does the frame come ready to hang?
Absolutely. Every RedKalion framed art print includes a pre-installed hanging kit. Your Keith Haring masterpiece is ready to be mounted on your wall immediately upon arrival, requiring no additional assembly.
What was the original meaning of Haring's Berlin Wall mural?
Haring painted the 100-meter mural to symbolize the desire to destroy the wall. By using interlocking figures in the colors of the German flag, he visualized the interconnectedness of people and the hope for a unified Germany.
How does RedKalion ensure sustainability?
We use FSC-certified materials or equivalent certifications depending on regional availability. Our frames are made from responsibly sourced wood, and we prioritize archival materials that are designed to last, reducing the need for replacement.
