For more than fifty years, Roy Lichtenstein has captured the attention of art collectors and enthusiasts with his comic-inspired paintings and irreverent humor. His artwork is highly coveted by museums, galleries, and art collectors, making him one of the most sought-after contemporary artists in the market. Lichtenstein's genius lies in his ability to give everyday objects, such as hot dogs and trash cans, a sense of monumental importance. He challenged the notion of "good taste" and became a key figure in the new avant-garde that revolutionized American art during the 1960s. In this Assouline Ultimate Collection volume, art historian Avis Berman selects and showcases one hundred of Lichtenstein's most memorable works, from the iconic Whaam! and Drowning Girl to his later interpretations of paintings by Picasso, Matisse, and van Gogh, as well as his public commissioned works, such as the Times Square Mural in New York's underground station. This book is a must-have for Pop Art lovers, featuring beautiful fold-outs that display Lichtenstein's art in all its vibrant colors and splendor.
