3 Pop Shop Vi
by Keith Haring
Year: 1989
Medium: Silkscreen
Size: 13 × 16 in (33.02 x 40.64 cm)
Edition: 200
A refined example of Keith Haring’s Pop Shop legacy, 3 Pop Shop VI (1989) is a 13 × 16-inch (33.02 × 40.64 cm) silkscreen from an edition of 200. Created during Haring’s pivotal late-1980s period, it reflects his fusion of street art, Pop culture, and accessible visual communication. Its compact scale, limited-edition status, and period significance make it a desirable work for collectors seeking authentic Haring graphics.
3 Pop Shop VI (1989) belongs to Haring’s final Pop Shop portfolios, created from the same street-born visual language that first appeared in his New York subway drawings. It is not a known subway graffiti image; Haring developed this composition as a studio screenprint for the Pop Shop project, which began in Manhattan in 1986 to make art more accessible beyond the gallery system.
Five linked figures form an unexpected hand-like shape, turning a simple gesture into a playful symbol of connection, movement, and shared energy. The image shows Haring’s gift for making complex ideas feel immediate.
Collector Insight: From an edition of 200, with 25 artist’s proofs, this is a desirable late-1980s Haring print. The complete Pop Shop VI set achieved £37,800 at Christie’s in 2024, reinforcing its market strength.
Curator Insight: In our view, this plate captures Haring at his most direct: playful on the surface, yet carefully constructed underneath.
Artist Relationship: It sits firmly within Haring’s mature Pop Shop period and connects his subway vocabulary with his later printmaking, alongside Pop Shop V, Pop Shop IV, and related 1989 editions. For collectors, it offers an instantly recognizable Haring icon with strong historical and market appeal.
