Edition of 200 signed and numbered by Keith Haring
A standout from Keith Haring’s late Pop Shop period, Pop Shop IV 1 (1989) is a screenprint measuring 13 1/2 × 16 1/2 inches (34.3 × 41.9 cm). Issued in an edition of 200, each impression is signed and numbered by Haring, reinforcing its authenticity. With its bold graphic language and cultural resonance, this collectible offers discerning collectors a distinctive example of Haring’s enduring fusion of street culture and fine art.
Pop Shop IV (1) by Keith Haring is the first plate from his 1989 Pop Shop IV portfolio and a strong example of his mature graphic language. The work traces back to Haring’s first Pop Shop in Manhattan, opened in 1986 to bring his art beyond galleries and into everyday life. It has no separate street-graffiti version; instead, Haring transformed the energy of his subway drawings into a signed, editioned screenprint.
A radiant angel dominates the composition, floating above a smaller figure. Haring used angels to explore creation, birth, spirituality, and sexuality. The bold lines and intense color give the image a sense of movement, while the scale suggests protection, power, and transformation.
For collectors, this edition of 200 remains highly desirable. Its place in the Pop Shop IV portfolio, hand-signed status, and inclusion in the Littmann catalogue raisonné strengthen its market importance. Recent auction results also show sustained collector demand.
At ArtLife Gallery, we see this plate as Haring at his most distilled: immediate, joyful, and rich with meaning. It connects naturally with Pop Shop IV Plates 2–4, Icons, Radiant Baby, and his subway drawings, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors building a serious Haring collection.
