This new Love stamp celebrates the universal experience of love with a work by,artist Keith Haring (1958–1990). With a deceptively simple and now-iconic style,Haring’s work is instantly recognizable. This stamp features Haring’s 1985 Untitled drawing. Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, believes that this drawing makes for an ideal new stamp in this popular series. “The non-specificity of the figures allows a variety of people to see themselves in this stamp,” Alcalá says. “Partners getting married, celebrating an anniversary, siblings sending each other a heartfelt greeting, or even party planners setting a positive tone for their event.”
“The non-specificity of the figures allows a variety of people to see themselves in this stamp,” said Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS who selected Haring’s work for the stamp design. “Partners getting married, celebrating an anniversary, siblings sending each other a heartfelt greeting, or even party planners setting a positive tone for their event.”
Intended to evoke feelings of warmth and playfulness, the release is perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day cards and can add sentiment and whimsy to letters, birthday or graduation cards, baby shower invitations or notes of thanks throughout the year.
Centered on a red heart with motion lines radiating toward two moving figures, Haring’s drawing suggests the figures are dancing in the presence of love. The joyful image allows the viewer to project their own meaning of love in the context of their choosing. The words “FOREVER” and “USA” are separated by a dot and written in black.
The Love (2025) stamps will be issued in panes of 20. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.
