1 Pop Shop Iii
by Keith Haring
Year: 1989
Medium: Silkscreen
Size: 13 × 16 in (33.02 x 40.64 cm)
Edition: 200
Celebrating Keith Haring’s Pop Shop vision, 1 Pop Shop III (1989) is a 13 × 16-inch (33.02 × 40.64 cm) silkscreen from an edition of 200. Its energetic graphic vocabulary reflects Haring’s late-1980s fusion of street art, Pop culture, and democratic visual communication. As a period example of his influential Pop Shop practice, the work offers collectors accessible scale, cultural resonance, and a clearly defined limited edition.
1 Pop Shop III (1989) is Plate 1 from Keith Haring’s third Pop Shop portfolio, created during the artist’s mature New York period. It first appears as a studio screenprint, not as a known street-graffiti work. Its visual DNA, however, comes directly from Haring’s subway drawings: bold outlines, simplified figures, and motion lines that made his art instantly readable. The Pop Shop extended that public language into an accessible art market.
Two figures struggle with a mechanical structure, turning a playful scene into a symbol of effort, cooperation, curiosity, and human connection. The compressed forms and energetic lines show Haring’s ability to make movement feel almost audible.
Signed and numbered from an edition of 200, this print offers a strong route into Haring’s late-1980s Pop Shop practice. Its place in the complete four-print portfolio adds historical and collecting interest.
In our view, this is Haring at his most effective—simple enough to read instantly, yet rich enough to reward closer looking.
It belongs to Haring’s 1989 Pop Shop III period, alongside Plates II–IV, and sits between his subway roots and his mature printmaking. For collectors seeking an iconic, documented Haring screenprint, it remains a compelling acquisition.
