Keith Haring 1986 collotype print from Fault Lines”, edition of 200. Numbered lower left 39/200. Printed by Edition Schellmann & Kluser Munich.

"In 1985, Keith had made a series of drawings for a text by Brion Gysin and wanted to turn this material into a book. However, he did not succeed in finding a publisher due to the heavy sexual imagery in his drawings. So he asked me if I could recommend a publisher in Germany. When I looked at the drawings, I could see the problem, but spontaneously offered to publish the book myself if Keith were to do an object in an edition for me - assuming that the book would hardly pay for its printing costs. Keith was very pleased and promised to come up with something – which indeed he did: he made the Dog multiple. As expected, the book sold slowly over the years, whereas the Dog garnered great popularity over the 30 years of its existence." – Jörg Schellmann
