Book Roy Lichtenstein: The Impossible Collection (Ultimate Edition)

Roy Lichtenstein's comic book-inspired paintings and irreverent wit have resonated with collectors and art lovers for over half a century. Museums and galleries compete to exhibit his work, and in the marketplace he is one of the most coveted names in contemporary art. Celebrated for imbuing ordinary objects like hot dogs and garbage cans with monumental power, Lichtenstein defied traditional "good taste" and became an emblem of the new avant-garde that redefined American art in the 1960s.

In this new volume Assouline Ultimate Collection entitled "Lischtenstein: The Impossible Collection," one hundred of the artist's most memorable works, selected by art historian Avis Berman, are reproduced, from the iconic "Whaam!" and "Drowning Girl," to later reinterpretations of paintings by Picasso, Matisse, and Van Gogh, to public commissions such as the "Times Square Mural," which is installed in New York City's Times Square subway station. Including beautiful gatefolds that reveal the breadth of Lichtenstein art in all its colors and beauty, this book is a dream collection for Pop Art lovers everywhere.
