P.O.P. not pop. Point-of-Purchase is an advertising term. It applies to the advertising and displaying of consumer items in a retailing setting like the stacks of these Asahi boxes and especially the inflatable floating can above it. I came across this at a grocery store in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The display caught my eye because of its geometry, pattern, and sculptural quality. For the time being on my site’s opening page, I have a painted figure made up of repeating cube-like shapes inspired by P.O.P. (Retail installer unknown)
