Keith Haring's 1989 portfolio Pop Shop VI consists of four brightly colored silkscreen prints. Haring created multiple Pop Shop portfolios in 1989, named after his original "Pop Shop" store that he opened in New York City in 1986. The Pop Shop was meant to make Haring's artwork even more accessible to the public, an initiative that the artist was passionate about throughout his career. The store sold everything from T-shirts and pins to posters with Haring's imagery on it. Haring opened the second store in 1987 in Tokyo, Japan. The name "Pop Shop" references the idea of "pop" culture in the context of easily recognizable figures, symbols, colors and idols that appealed to the masses. In his silkscreen print portfolios of the same name, Haring delves deeper into his development of a visual language. In Pop Shop VI, Haring created four energetic compositions featuring his signature black lined figures intertwining with each other and in various forms of movement, colored in a palette of orange, yellow and blue.
Keith Haring's Pop Shop VI series features four whimsical silkscreen prints, printed in 1989.
