{"product_id":"art-and-merchandise-in-keith-amy-raffel-9780367858735","title":"Art and Merchandise in Keith Haring's Pop Shop","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs one of the first academic monographs on Keith Haring, this book uses the Pop Shop, a previously overlooked enterprise, and artist merchandising as tools to reconsider the significance and legacy of Haring's career as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaring developed an alternative approach to both the marketing and the social efficacy of art: he controlled the sales and distribution of his merchandise, while also promulgating his belief in accessibility and community activism. He proved that mass-produced objects can be used strategically to form a community and create social change. Furthermore, looking beyond the 1980s, into the 1990s and 2000s, Haring and his shop prefigured artists' emerging, self-aware involvement with the mass media, and the art world's growing dependence on marketing and commercialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars or students studying art history, consumer culture, cultural studies, media studies, or market studies, as well as anyone with a curiosity about Haring and his work, the 1980s art scene in New York, the East Village, street art, art activism, and art merchandising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Raffel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367858738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367858735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Amy Raffel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086550118655,"sku":"9780367858735","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3be26b7e-45ed-41ac-aff0-0199a37ddb89.jpg?v=1769095319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-and-merchandise-in-keith-amy-raffel-9780367858735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
