The project was typical of Haring who believed art should be for everyone, not just an elite few, and it was this belief that brought him to the medium of print which allowed him to create large editions of his paintings and drawings in order to make them more accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the project was praised by friends such as Andy Warhol, who was fascinated by the possibilities of the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction, it was snubbed by many leading art world figures who placed more value on original works of art. Speaking of the importance of opening the shop as opposed to making large canvases to please collectors, Haring said, 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—this work shows Haring’s mastery of screen printing as a medium. Though he had experimented with print techniques such as lithography in the late ’70s and ’80s, it wasn’t until 1983 that Haring began making screen prints, or serigraphs, which offered a way of creating multiple images that artists had adopted from the world of commercial printing. This move to screen printing was undoubtedly due in part to the method being popularised by Warhol, one of Haring’s most important influences, and soon he was producing ever more inventive and daring work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt soon became evident that the energy and curiosity he demonstrated for painting translated perfectly into printmaking and he began to work with publishers across the US, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, France, Denmark and Holland. The prints featuring singular images were released as portfolios of four, each from an edition of 200, while the \u003cem\u003eQuad\u003c\/em\u003e prints—compiling four images in a grid format—were released in an edition of 75. Totalling 875 prints featuring the orange-yellow-turquoise \u003cem\u003ePop Shop VI\u003c\/em\u003e artworks and exemplifying the prolific productivity of Haring’s printmaking, each individual print nevertheless reflects the attentive care paid by Haring throughout the production process. Though initially the singular \u003cem\u003ePop Shop VI\u003c\/em\u003e prints were released as four-part portfolios, and remain extremely valuable in their original sets of matching edition numbers, many portfolios have inevitably been divided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the time of his death, Haring had produced so many prints that the exact number has become impossible to count. There are many unsigned editions on the market, though these tend only to be considered valuable if approved by the Keith Haring Foundation. Today his prints are frequently among the most sought-after multiples on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/keith-haring-posters\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKeith Haring Posters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in our collection, featuring iconic Pop Shop designs and bold works inspired by Haring’s instantly recognisable visual language.\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":67567902523692,"sku":"34f40a4c-d1ab-4660-be36-79b597754ed1","price":2404.56,"currency_code":"MAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/2301\/3676\/files\/c5bf63fd-252b-4832-96ba-322d7627bee6.webp?v=1791203027","url":"https:\/\/keithharingposter.com\/products\/pop-shop-vi-plate-iv-by-keith-haringr-poster-75x100-cm-30x40","provider":"Keith Haring Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
