This work was produced in the year before Haring’s death and is closely connected to his influential Pop Shop project, through which he opened a store in downtown Manhattan selling his designs on T-shirts, badges and other merchandise for as little as 50 cents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe project reflected Haring’s belief that art should be accessible to everyone rather than reserved for an elite few. This philosophy also influenced his move towards printmaking, a medium that allowed him to produce large editions of his paintings and drawings and make his imagery available to a much wider audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pop Shop was praised by figures such as Andy Warhol, who was fascinated by the possibilities of art in an age of mechanical reproduction, while many leading figures in the art world were more sceptical, placing greater value on unique original works. Haring defended the importance of the shop and its accessible approach, explaining: “I could earn more money if I just painted a few things and jacked up the price. My shop is an extension of what I was doing in the subway stations, breaking down the barriers between high and low art.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted in four colours—black, red, yellow and blue—\u003cem\u003ePop Shop VI, Plate II\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates Haring’s mastery of screen printing. Although he had experimented with printmaking techniques such as lithography during the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was not until 1983 that Haring began producing screen prints, or serigraphs. The process offered him an effective way to create multiple images while preserving the bold lines, simplified forms and vivid colours that became central to his visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaring’s move towards screen printing was influenced in part by Andy Warhol, one of his most important artistic influences, whose innovative use of commercial printing techniques demonstrated the creative potential of multiples. Haring quickly developed the technique in his own distinctive style, producing increasingly inventive and energetic works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt soon became clear that the energy and curiosity evident in Haring’s paintings translated perfectly into printmaking. He went on to work with publishers across the United States, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, France, Denmark and Holland. Prints featuring individual images were released as portfolios of four, each from an edition of 200, while the \u003cem\u003eQuad\u003c\/em\u003e prints, combining four images in a grid format, were released in an edition of 75.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn total, 875 prints featuring the vibrant \u003cem\u003ePop Shop VI\u003c\/em\u003e imagery were produced, demonstrating the prolific nature of Haring’s printmaking practice. Despite the scale of these editions, each individual print reflects the care and attention Haring devoted to the production process. Although the individual \u003cem\u003ePop Shop VI\u003c\/em\u003e prints were originally released as four-part portfolios and remain particularly desirable in their original sets with matching edition numbers, many portfolios have since been divided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the time of his death, Haring had produced such a vast body of prints that the exact number is difficult to determine. Numerous unsigned editions can be found on the market, although these are generally considered valuable when approved or authenticated by the Keith Haring Foundation. Today, Haring’s prints remain among the most sought-after multiples in the art market, celebrated for their bold graphic language, vibrant colours and enduring Pop Art appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExplore more \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/keith-haring-posters\"\u003eKeith Haring prints and artworks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in our collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Master's Edition archival paper, in off-white and uncoated, offers museum-quality for art enthusiasts seeking a luxurious way to enjoy world-class artworks:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper Finishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte, uncoated, natural white (off-white).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcid-Free:\u003c\/strong\u003e pH above 7 to prevent yellowing over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 gsm (110 lb), Thickness: 0.29 mm (11.4 mils).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 sizes in inches (US\u0026amp;CA) and cms (rest of the world).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSustainable Paper:\u003c\/strong\u003e FSC-certified paper for sustainability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn about paper types and their unique textures and finishes \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/support.gelato.com\/en\/articles\/8996279-what-paper-types-do-you-support?\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo minimum orders, printed and shipped on demand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keith Haring Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67567858286892,"sku":"5bca10dc-c541-4926-a0c5-6dc28a6d83b4","price":2404.56,"currency_code":"MAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/2301\/3676\/files\/2e121d1d-62b7-429f-a447-d48f1d123d3a.webp?v=1791202543","url":"https:\/\/keithharingposter.com\/products\/pop-shop-vi-plate-ii-by-keith-haring-poster-75x100-cm-30x40","provider":"Keith Haring Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
