Perhaps one of the most recognizable portfolios in the Pop Shop series, Pop Shop IV features almost all of Haring’s ‘icons’: the radiant child, the barking dog and the winged superman, all surrounded by joyous energy lines and depicted in the bold contrasting colors he became known for. This series is a tour de force of composition, displaying Haring’s intimate knowledge of the language of cartoons and street art alike, and evoking the playfulness that characterized all the work he made for his Pop Shops.

 


Introduction


The portfolio was released three years after Haring opened his first Pop Shop in downtown Manhattan. Aimed at kids and collectors alike, the Pop Shops were a place where Haring could sell his art for as little as 50 cents. The store stocked t-shirts, badges and magnets featuring his now ubiquitous designs.

While the project was praised by friends such as Andy Warhol who was fascinated by the possibilities of the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction, it was snubbed by many leading art world figures who placed more value on original works of art.

“I could earn more money if I just painted a few things and jacked up the price. My shop is an extension of what I was doing in the subway stations, breaking down the barriers between high and low art”.

His love for commercial and Pop art was evident in his first experiments with street art which saw him creating signature figures he named ‘icons’, such as the barking dog, the radiant child and the winged superman. He would reproduce these figures over and over again, in bright colors reminiscent of advertising and later, just before his death from AIDS in 1990, in plain white embossings.

Printed in four colors (black, red, brown and yellow) this portfolio shows Haring’s mastery of screen printing as a medium. Though he had experimented with print techniques such as lithography in the late 70s and 80s it wasn’t until 1983 that Haring began making screen prints, or serigraphs, which offered a way of creating multiple images, that artists had adopted from the world of commercial printing. This move to screen printing was undoubtedly due in part to the method being popularized by Warhol, one of Haring’s most important influences, and soon he was producing ever more inventive and daring work.
