Comment(s): Haring tagged examples of transit medallions are extremely rare. Haring tagged this one with two of his trademark images. The vinyl decal was applied to a circular thin steel plate to form the medallion. It then was mounted to the middle right front of the lead subway car of the subway train. This medallion was pulled from use in the transit system during a routine renovation. Image copyright © The Keith Haring Foundation. [30359-5-2400-NA]
