Original Vintage Pop Shop Pin by Keith Haring is a period artist-merchandise object associated with Haring’s celebrated Pop Shop in New York. The Pop Shop opened in 1986 and became an important extension of Haring’s artistic practice, offering affordable objects decorated with his instantly recognizable figures, symbols, and bold graphic linework.

This larger-format pin measures approximately 6 cm / 2.4 in in diameter and is constructed as a metal pin-back button with a printed Keith Haring image. It is not hand-signed or individually numbered. Original examples from the Pop Shop period may carry Keith Haring copyright, trademark, or production markings around the edge or reverse.

Keith Haring created the Pop Shop as a way of bringing his artwork outside the conventional gallery system. The store sold buttons, pins, magnets, clothing, watches, posters, toys, and other everyday objects, allowing a broad audience to own and interact with Haring’s imagery.

Compared with the smaller approximately 2 cm Pop Shop buttons, this 6 cm version has a stronger visual presence while retaining the accessible and playful character central to Haring’s Pop Shop concept.

A strong vintage collectible for admirers of Keith Haring, original Pop Shop memorabilia, 1980s New York art, artist ephemera, vintage pins, Pop Art, and artist-designed objects.
