NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will present ‘80s New York Featuring the Keith Haring Pop Shop Collection of Julia Markus as a timed online auction closing on Thursday, August 20, 2026 at 10am. This exciting sale brings together paintings, drawings, sculpture, prints, multiples, photography and memorabilia celebrating the artists and creative energy that transformed New York during this dynamic decade.
Highlighting the auction is an extensive group of material from the Keith Haring Pop Shop Collection of Julia Markus. Opened by Haring in SoHo in 1986, the legendary Pop Shop was a pioneering retail space that brought the artist’s iconic imagery to a wider audience through affordable prints, posters, apparel and collectibles.
Professor Julia Markus is the author of several notable books, including "Lady Byron and Her Daughters" and "J. Anthony Froude: The Last Undiscovered Great Victorian." As a New Yorker and longtime supporter of the arts, Julia was thrilled to discover Keith Haring's Pop Shop when it opened. Voraciously collecting the many objects created by Keith and friends for his Pop Shop, Julia amassed a trove of ephemera, including radios, inflatables, magnets, apparel, books and much more. Doyle is excited to offer this remarkable collection of Pop Shop items from Keith Haring and his friends in this new installment of our 80s New York auction.
Additional offerings include works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Kenny Scharf, Ronnie Cutrone and other artists whose creative output defined the era.
The 1980s saw New York at the forefront of artistic innovation as the worlds of street art, graffiti, music, fashion, performance and contemporary art converged in new and exciting ways. From SoHo galleries and East Village clubs to the gritty West Side piers, the city became a laboratory for creative experimentation, nurturing a generation of artists whose influence continues to resonate today.
