1 Pop Shop Ii
by Keith Haring
Year: 1988
Medium: Silkscreen
Size: 13 × 16 in (33.02 x 40.64 cm)
Edition: 200
From Keith Haring’s celebrated Pop Shop period, 1 Pop Shop II (1988) is a silkscreen measuring 13 × 16 inches (33.02 × 40.64 cm), issued in an edition of 200. Reflecting Haring’s pioneering blend of street culture, fine art, and popular imagery, the work distills his energetic visual language into an accessible collectible. Its period significance and enduring cultural resonance make it a compelling choice for discerning collectors.
Pop Shop II (1) by Keith Haring is the opening plate of his 1988 Pop Shop II portfolio, created as Haring expanded his mission to make art accessible beyond the gallery. The series followed his original New York Pop Shop, launched in 1986, and reflects the artist’s belief that art could live in everyday culture. It is not a street-graffiti edition; rather, Haring translated the energy of his subway drawings into a signed, editioned screenprint.
A blue figure stretches upward with arms open, surrounded by kinetic marks. The simple form suggests freedom, movement, joy, and human connection, while the strong black outline gives the image the instant visual impact that made Haring’s work so influential.
For collectors, Pop Shop II (1) offers a strong balance of rarity and market relevance. The edition is limited to 200, with additional artist’s proofs, and the work is documented as Littmann p. 96. Its auction history shows sustained demand, including a $53,094 result at Phillips in 2022.
At ArtLife Gallery, we consider this an excellent Haring for collectors who want a recognizable 1980s work with real historical depth. It connects directly to Pop Shop II Plates 2–4, Pop Shop Quad II, Pop Shop I, and Haring’s subway drawings—making it a smart addition to a serious contemporary art collection.
