Roy Lichtenstein: Interiors [Englisch] [Gebundene Ausgabe]

These two books explore the late work of two highly acclaimed artists. Completed in the 1990s during the final years of Lichtenstein's life, Interiors is the first trade edition of a 2001 title originally released in conjunction with a major exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. This body of colorful paintings and prints reflects the excess of the 1980s. Included in the large color reproductions are Lichtenstein's preliminary sketches and source materials, which add valuable insight to his working process. The 115 color plates are contextualized by short essays by five individuals who were closest to the artist, including his wife, and by a foreword by Robert Fitzpatrick (director, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago). These essays paint an extraordinary portrait of this major artist.

Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was a great and influential pop artist and was preoccupied during his final decade with two series, Nudes and Interiors. The Interiors, with the artist's usual dry wit, depict domestic interiors, sometimes decorated with the artist's own signature works. This monograph brings together all of Lichtenstein's Interiors paintings, prints and sculpture, along with source materials, drawings and studies, illuminating the evolution of his ideas. It also includes many key works from his earlier career.
