### The Valley - Original Drawing ### An exceptional and extremely rare object by Keith Haring : the original copper etching plate on which he directly incised his composition into the metal. This is an actual matrix for one of The Valley etching. The lines were carved by hand by Keith Haring into the copper. ** The portfolio The Valley contains sixteen etchings by Keith Haring. All sixteen hand-drawn on copper plates by Keith Haring in April 1989 in his New York studio. *** This is the actual matrix for one of them.  ** This plate is the physical source from which etchings were printed. ** As explicitly stated in the Colophon of The Valley: the sixteen images were drawn by Keith Haring and printed from 10 x 9 inch copper plates in black ink. The text by William S. Burroughs was copied by hand and subsequently photo-etched onto copper plates and printed in red ink. ** The distinction is essential and clearly defined in the Colophon: the images are hand-drawn into copper; the text is photo-etched. ** What photographs barely convey is the extraordinary precision of execution. In the copper, one encounters a deeply moving concentration. Every single line is placed exactly where it belongs—without correction, without hesitation. While Haring is widely known for his monumental works executed with bold, sweeping gestures, this copper plate reveals another dimension of his practice: absolute control, discipline, and refinement on an intimate scale. ** Working directly into copper is highly exceptional within Harings oeuvre. The act of physically incising the line into metal belongs to only a very limited number of projects in his career. The tangible presence of the original matrix, the technical perfection, and the clear documentation in the Colophon elevate this object to museum-level significance. The provenance is fully verifiable and transparently documented—something that is not always self-evident within the market surrounding Keith Haring. This clarity of origin further reinforces the authenticity and the exceptional nature of the work. ** The plate is presented in a custom plexiglass box, combined with the original linen case of The Valley, creating a striking and museum-quality presentation that powerfully unites the source matrix with the finished portfolio.
