Keith Haring moved to New York City in 1978 and tried to use the city as his canvas. He drew in subway stations and soon became one of the most popular artists of recent generations. Haring opened the Pop Shop in New York City in 1986 to make his art more accessible to people. The store sold posters, t-shirts, and other items with his artwork and designs. He was also interested in many social causes and did more than 50 public works and numerous workshops for children
