First Day of Issue: Love

The universal experience of love is celebrated with a work by contemporary artist Keith Haring (1958–1990).

During his career, he made several variations of his red heart with two figures reaching toward it, each in his signature style. They often include motion lines around the figures and the heart, making clear that they dance 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 issuance is a continuation of the popular Love series introduced by the Postal Service in 1973.
