Keith Haring Pop Shop

The Keith Haring Pop Shop was an art and merchandise boutique. It opened in 1986 at 292 Lafayette Street in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, offering a public shop for Haring's imagery. Its merchandise included T-shirts and novelty items featuring work by Haring and contemporaries such as Kenny Scharf and Andy Warhol. Haring painted the interiors of the New York and Tokyo shops, making each space an immersive presentation of his visual style. The Tokyo location opened in 1987 and closed in 1988; the New York shop closed in September 2005. The original Pop Shop ceiling was later donated to the New York Historical Society, where it is installed in the entry. The business is part of Keith Haring's history of bringing his art into commercial spaces.
