Crafted of turned and lacquered wood by the venerated toy firm Vilac, the Keith Haring Chess Set includes a white fabric bag to hold the pieces when not in use that features the artist’s 1989 self-portrait. The Keith Haring Chess Set board measures 12.6” square and pieces range from 0.5” (pawn) to 2.5” (king) tall. Haring has work in MoMA’s collection. Ages 6+.
