ROY LICHTENSTEIN, American, 1927-1987, MOONSCAPE, 1965

Signed, Numbered & Dated

This dazzling Roy Lichtenstein hand signed and numbered mixed media silkscreen is the most desirable (and expensive) work from the legendary 1960s portfolio 11 Pop Artists I, which also featured works by Andy Warhol, Mel Ramos, James Rosenquist and others. It was originally published in an edition of 200, though it's becoming increasingly scarce as so many are now in the permanent collections of major museums, institutions and public collections worldwide.  Lichtenstein's "Moonscape" was created in the mid Sixties, and by the end of the decade, the first man would land on the moon!

Works from the same edition are in the MOMA and Tate permanent collections; another one from the same edition was in the retrospective in the Centre Pompidou, and in the Roy Lichtenstein print retrospective at the Smithsonian. 

This particular impression of Lichtenstein's iconic Moonscape has superb provenance as it was acquired as part of the original complete 11 Pop Artists, Volume I portfolio, contained in the original slipcase with colophon pages. 

Excellent condition. Ships flat not rolled as it is mixed media. A dazzling print.
