The book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Keith Haring: Pop Shop Drawings at Gladstone Brussels in 2019. Made for his iconic Pop Shop which he opened in Soho in 1986, the series of drawings within served as the underlying artwork for subsequent prints and other Pop Shop merchandise. Depicting a variety of forms and figures in the artist’s signature style -- human figures in space, barking dogs, swimming dolphins, scissors, industrial machines, and angels -- these black and white compositions demonstrate Haring’s career-long exploration of the medium of drawing and his astute ability to create a unique version of reality using a distinct visual language. With an essay by writer Brad Gooch about the historical significance of Haring’s Pop Shop and drawing practice, this catalog demonstrates Haring’s ability to address complex, socially-engaged, and timely themes such as sexuality, religion, economics, and technology.
