In May 2026, Sotheby’s New York unveiled Haring’s House: Works From the Collection of Kermit Oswald, a remarkably rare and deeply personal trove of Keith Haring artworks that remained completely hidden in a private collection for over 40 years.
The exclusive collection comes directly from Kermit Oswald, Haring’s lifelong best friend from their childhood hometown of Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Because the majority of these pieces were direct gifts or collaborative projects between the two friends, they offer an unprecedented, intimate glimpse into the iconic artist’s early visual evolution and personal relationships.
