Pop Shop IV, Plate I - by Keith Haringr Poster 75x100 cm / 30x40″

One of the most recognisable works from Keith Haring’s celebrated Pop Shop series, Pop Shop IV brings together several of the artist’s most iconic visual symbols, including the radiant child, barking dog and winged figure. Surrounded by Haring’s characteristic energy lines and rendered in bold contrasting colours, the composition captures the playful, dynamic spirit that defined his work throughout the 1980s.

The Pop Shop project was central to Haring’s ambition to make art accessible to a wider audience. When the first Pop Shop opened in Manhattan’s SoHo neighbourhood in 1986, Haring transformed his street art vocabulary into an accessible range of products, including T-shirts, badges and prints. Rather than separating fine art from popular culture, the project reflected his belief that art could exist beyond the traditional gallery and museum environment.

Pop Shop IV also demonstrates Haring’s mastery of screen printing. Using a carefully balanced palette of black, red, brown and yellow, the print translates his bold graphic language into a striking composition with exceptional visual clarity. Haring’s approach to printmaking allowed him to produce multiple images while retaining the energy and immediacy of his drawings.

Although Haring initially became widely recognised for his Subway Drawings and large-scale public works, printmaking quickly became an important part of his artistic practice. During the 1980s, he worked with publishers and printers internationally, producing screen prints, lithographs and other editions that extended his imagery to collectors and audiences around the world.

The Pop Shop IV series is particularly notable for its combination of recognisable Haring symbols, vibrant colour and graphic simplicity. The recurring figures and expressive energy lines create a composition that feels both playful and instantly recognisable, reflecting Haring’s deep connection to cartoon imagery, street culture and Pop Art.

Today, Keith Haring prints remain highly sought after by collectors and admirers of contemporary and Pop Art. Pop Shop IV stands as a particularly iconic example of Haring’s printmaking practice, bringing together his most recognisable motifs and his enduring ambition to break down the boundaries between high art and popular culture.
