Abstract:
Color postcard featuring a painting of a store front that somewhat resembles Keith Haring's Pop shop in New York. The entrance is closed with a metal grill and is flanked by two large windows, one on top of the other. Each window has "Pop shop" written on it with its address and phone number: 292 Lafayette St., NYC; 219-2784. A bear-like creature is peeking out of each window with a huge grin on its face and its paws on the windowsill. Behind the entrance grill is outline of a person reminiscent of the Radiant Baby drawing above the entrance of the original Pop shop. It is standing up and leaning against the grill, possibly trying to escape. There are graffiti above the windows and on the wall above the shop.
