The Pop Shop was a store owned by pop artist Keith Haring. Haring opened the first Pop Shop in New York City in 1986 and one in Tokyo in 1988. Haring viewed the Pop Shop as an extension of his work. Every area of the store was devoted to Haring's work, including floor-to-ceiling murals. It served to fulfill the artist's desire to make his iconic and beloved imagery accessible to the widest possible range of people both during his lifetime and posthumously through the Keith Haring Foundation.
