POP SHOP: Keith Haring







POP LIFE: Art In A Material World. Great exhibition. If you're going to the TATE Modern anytime soon then it's worth the money [I didn't pay myself as an unwilling companion lent me his TATE Membership card]. It features great artists such as Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, and my personal favourite Keith Haring. Haring's vibrancy rattles off the walls of his 'Pop Shop', which has been recreated in the TATE Modern since the SoHo, New York Pop Shop closed in 2005. You can here the bass thumping through the door as you approach the shop and as you enter you're whacked with a wall of noise, lights and Haring memorabilia. It's awesome. Check it out! I bought a badge for 63p [the one two images up].
