Keith Haring took a magic marker to a generic wooden skateboard deck in 1987. Last weekend, almost twenty-two years later, that skateboard went on auction here in New York City — alongside other carefully curated pieces from contemporary artists of the likes of ESPO, KAWS, Ed Templeton, and Shepard Fairey. Only two other pieces — by Tom Sachs and Verner Panton — fetched a higher fee; Haring’s skateboard went for $16,250.

Also worth mentioning: a handwritten scrawl from an ‘89 edition series by Richard Prince that reads, “If I refuse to go to bed with you,” she whispered, “will you really commit suicide?”
