Pop Shop VI (B) (Littmann P. 150) by Keith Haring depicts two turquoise figures uniting their arms together to create a central yellow panel - reminiscent of a tv - as they stand against a bright orange background.

The work reflects Haring's relationship with mass media and electronic communication, themes that gained particular urgency in the late 1980s as cable television expanded and MTV culture reached its zenith. The yellow screen, supported by the collaborative effort of two figures, suggests both the communal experience of television viewing and the medium's role as a shared cultural reference point. Haring had explored similar motifs throughout the decade, but this interpretation, with its bold colour separation and simplified iconography, demonstrates his ability to distill complex social phenomena into immediately readable visual statements.

The work's formal elements reinforce its conceptual framework. The turquoise figures create a stable base for the elevated screen, while their radiating lines extend energy across the orange field. This colour palette—the complementary relationship between orange and light blue, is punctuated by the bright yellow focal point—generates a vibrancy that mirrors the electronic glow of television itself. The symmetrical arrangement of the two figures emphasises cooperation and shared purpose, contrasting with more isolated media consumption patterns that would emerge in subsequent decades.
