The front features a photograph of the artist taken by Christian Rossier. Haring, wearing round glasses and a determined gaze, sports a white sleeveless tank top on which he represents the numbers of the year 85 in a style typical of his mastery of positive and negative space. In the lower margin, he adds his signature Keith H. and rewrites the date 85 .
The pre-printed back cover announcing his opening at the Corinne Hummel Gallery in Basel in 1984 is surmounted by a large drawing by the artist depicting a dancing figure (the famous Dancing Man ) whose radiant hand/head encompasses the name Keith Haring printed at the top of the page. On the right-hand side, Haring writes the address of his correspondent residing at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.
