Poster designed by Haring for the special opening of his famous "Pop Shop" art boutique store in April of 1986 at 292 Lafayette Street, New York, NY.
"In April 1986, Haring opened a retail store not far away from his studio, where, in addition to posters he also sold merchandise bearing his own designs: 'I discussed the Pop Shop many times with Andy Warhol, and he was totally supportive of my taking the plunge, and not caring what people thought' (Gruen, page 129). The Pop Shop closed in 2005." - Döring/Osten page 113.
The Pop Shop was a store owned by pop artist Keith Haring. Haring opened the first Pop Shop in New York City in 1986 (which closed in 2005) and later one in Tokyo (which closed in 1988). Haring viewed the Pop Shop as an extension of his work. It served to fulfill the artist's desire to make his iconic and beloved imagery accessible to the widest possible range of people both during his lifetime and posthumously through the Keith Haring Foundation. Every area of the store was devoted to Haring's work including floor-to-ceiling murals. The logo for the Pop Shop was a star with "Pop Shop" in the center.
