POP SHOP

En uno de mis primeros viajes a Nueva York -han pasado seguro casi veinte años- compré en la tienda Pop Shop, donde se vendía todo el trabajo de Keith Haring, una toalla, esta de la foto, que sigue colgada del toallero como el primer día. Desgraciadamente la tienda cerró en 2005. He aquí un pequeño resumen de su historia...


In 1986, New York artist Keith Haring opened the Pop Shop in downtown Manhattan. Haring saw the Pop Shop as an extension of his work, a fun boutique where his art could be accessible to everyone. For nearly twenty years, the shop continued to be a downtown attraction with floor-to-ceiling murals and affordable clothing and gift items all featuring Keith Haring's unique icons. In September, 2005, the Pop Shop finally closed its doors to the public. Keith Haring's work continues to be displayed around the world at galleries and museums and in public spaces (view exhibitions  andpublic projects ).
