Keith Haring Opportunity...

In Celebration Of His Astonishing Career And To Commemorate 20 Years Of His Passing In February 1990, All Keith Haring Artwork Will Be Available For The Month Of February 2010 At Savings Of 15% To 35%

Keith Haring's talent was first recognized on the subway platforms, where his trademark chalk-drawn figures could be seen for the price of a token.

"When I did a drawing and went back a week later, the drawing was still there. It was neither smudged nor did anyone try to clean it off. I mean, it seemed to have this protective power that prevented people from destroying them. Another thing that I realized how many people were seeing these things. Within a week, when I'd be doing another drawing, people would come up to me and say, "So you're the guy who did these drawings!" Because, see, there was never a signature. Nobody knew who was doing this stuff. And I started to realize the power and the potential of what I was doing."

His career had moved from underground New York to the most prestigious galleries and museums in the world by the time of his death in 1990.

It is hard to believe that 20 years this February, have gone by since Keith Haring passed away. Yet what is remarkable, is the legacy he left us; an astounding collection of images that continues to resonate with us, still provoking art lovers and collectors the world over, forever providing wonder and amusement for children and grownups everywhere.

Please call (212) 533-4262 or email the gallery for more information or if you would like us to send you a catalog

SUMMER OF ROCK - Robert Altman

The 40th Anniversary of Woodstock is upon us...

Meet

Robert Altman


Chief Staff Photographer - Rolling Stone Magazine
1969 -1971

Wednesday, May 27th 2009
5pm to 7pm

We will be presenting Robert's most iconic photographs,
celebrating his "Art Under Glass" window exhibit
at Macy's Herald Square

In addition to selling his photographs at Pop International,
Robert will be signing his book "The Sixties"

Click here to RSVP

I realized long ago that my "raison d'etre was to chronicle and publish photos depicting the life and times that the Sixties inspired. It was "meant to be" - and photojournalism became my vocation, really my calling...whether I was hired to do so or not.

This drive consumed my life. We had a wonderful, extended adolescence.

It's almost as if our parents said, "OK - go out and have a good time, but just be back by 1974."

~ ROBERT ALTMAN


December 11th, 2008: Are You Ready For Some Football???

Celebrating the great Neil Leifer's new book Guts and Glory: The Golden Age of American Football (1958 - 1978) , Pop International Galleries is hosting a show of his incomparable photographs, coinciding with the book launch on Thursday, December 11th, 2008 .

The exhibit will feature some of the most memorable moments since the birth of pro football in America by perhaps the best of all American sports photographers, Neil Leifer . Combing through 10,000 rolls of football pictures, including numerous previously unpublished images, this show promises to be an exciting event for collectors of his work as well as for all sports enthusiasts.
 
In December 1958, he took the picture that remains today, one of his most famous, the shot of Alan Ameche's game-winning "Sudden Death" touchdown, which just happened to be on Leifer's 16th birthday. This game, called "The Greatest Ever Played," signaled football's emergence as America's new national pastime. Formerly half-empty stadiums welcomed sold-out crowds seemingly overnight, while football surpassed pro baseball and college football in national television ratings.
 
Meet the photographer and join us for a memorable evening as we proudly present Neil Leifer's gallery show of Guts and Glory: The Golden Age of American Football.

September 18th, 2008:  ART FROM THE HEART - New Works By Mackenzie Thorpe

Finally, the much awaited and anticipated One-Person show for MACKENZIE THORPE.

This remarkable British artist continues to capture our attention and fascination with bold imagery that pushes the limits of our understanding of the human experience.

Mackenzie Thorpe strives to express the full range of human emotion through his art, whether through his trademark brightly colored pastels or his new bronze sculptures. His seemingly simple subject matter, from big headed happy children and square sheep, to tough industrial workers, belies the complexity of his concerns as an artist. 

His works are associated with a principle of "art from the heart" - combining tenderness with fervency through both his abstract and figurative depictions.  His work is wide ranging, from those accessible "square sheep" and duffle coat boys to the more challenging imagery, focusing on isolation and man's universal struggles. Much of Thorpe's work depicts his childhood growing up in Middlesbrough, yet he is well-known and beloved around the globe.

Click here to RSVP for the Mackenzie Thorpe Opening on September 18th.

December 1st, 2005 : The Book Bank Foundation hosts annual fundraiser

Book Bank At Pop International

An event for The Book Bank Foundation will be held Thursday, December 1, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. at  Pop International Galleries located at 473 W. Broadway (at West Houston Street) in SoHo. A VIP reception will begin at 6:00 p.m., where sports and entertainment celebrities, and New York’s business community are slated to attend. This year’s event will raise funds that will go towards the purchase of computer hardware/software, clothing, and food for youth as well as allow the foundation to continue to work to reduce the homeless population by providing life-applicable resources that will eventually allow them to live independently.

The BBF, known for its ongoing philanthropic and literacy outreach efforts for youth and homeless communities, is making serious strides in bringing much needed attention to an all to often over-looked population. “Too often, we turn our heads and/or look down upon homeless people and ridicule youth, and we shouldn’t,” says Glenn Toby, renowned sports agent, philanthropist, and founder of The BookBank Foundation. “The Book Bank Foundation’s purpose is to serve as a right-hand resource to youth and homeless individuals and provide them with appropriate guidance and resources that will make them positive contributors to society, and their community.”

The owners of Pop International Galleries, Jeff Jaffe and Rick Rounick are delighted to host this event. Pop International will be contributing a portion of the sales generated from this event to The Book Bank Foundation.

For more information on this year’s event and to purchase tickets, please call 1-888-GLNTOBY and to find out more about The Book Bank Foundation, visit www.thebookbankfoundation.org .
