Exclusive Harland Miller merchandise now available to buy through York Art Gallery’s new online shop 

Posters, bespoke candles, unique mugs and more! 

Following the success of an exclusive range of Harland Miller merchandise, created in conjunction with the current exhibition ‘Harland Miller: XXX’, a new online shop has been launched to allow more people to enjoy the unique products.  

With collectable gifts ranging from postcards, posters and pin badges, to bags, blankets, and books, there is something for everyone at a variety of price points. York Art Gallery wanted the merchandise to be representative of the art works on display, allowing visitors to take home a version of the much-loved paintings.   

All items are bespoke to the exhibition and have been designed to Miller’s specifications. Many of the products are from UK businesses and suppliers, and others produced in a sustainable and energy conscious manner. Highlights include the ‘Star’ candle, produced in conjunction with York business, Eboracum Candles. The luxury hand poured wax carries a distinctive scent chosen by Miller, reminiscent of a much-loved cologne.  

Miller and the team at York Art Gallery wanted to ensure the size and scale of his works were represented in the items available, such as the large ‘XXX’ blankets and the ‘Oh No’ football scarves. Miller’s fascination with letters is also showcased within the pin badges, emphasising the letter line and form in a portable scale.  

Ruth Cubitt, Retail Services Manager at York Museums Trust said “After the popularity of the merchandise accompanying the current exhibition ‘Harland Miller: XXX’, we are delighted to offer our products online. 

“It’s an opportunity for people who might not be local to York to take home a piece of this very special exhibition.”  

‘Harland Miller: XXX’ is open at York Art Gallery until 31 August 2025.

About the exhibition  

Internationally acclaimed artist and writer Harland Miller returns to York Art Gallery this March to present ‘Harland Miller: XXX’, a new exhibition showcasing paintings and works on paper from his renowned ‘Letter Paintings’ series. 

Inspired by his upbringing in 1970s Yorkshire and an itinerant lifestyle in New York, New Orleans, Berlin and Paris during the 1980s and ’90s, Miller creates colourful and graphically vernacular works that convey his love of popular language and attest to his enduring engagement with its narrative, aural and typographical possibilities. 

This exhibition has been kindly supported by White Cube.
