First appearing in Keith Haring’s 1987 Pop Shop I portfolio as Plate 4, this signed screenprint captures two figures in a charged display of balance, strength, and movement. Unlike Haring’s subway drawings, it has no documented street-graffiti version; it was conceived as a fine-art print tied to the Pop Shop project, Haring’s landmark effort to make art accessible beyond the gallery system.
The lifted figure suggests trust, play, and shared energy, while the bold outlines and vivid color turn a simple gesture into a universal symbol of connection. For collectors, the edition of 200 makes authentic signed examples finite, while recent auction results show sustained demand and strong market recognition.
What makes this work especially compelling is its balance of street-born immediacy and Pop-era sophistication. It belongs to Haring’s mature 1980s visual language, alongside his Pop Shop portfolios and iconic dancing, crawling, and radiant figures. For collectors seeking an accessible entry into Haring’s market, Plate 4 offers rarity, recognizable imagery, and lasting cultural relevance.
