Roy Lichtenstein: The Impossible Collection

Roy Lichtenstein's comic book-inspired paintings and irreverent humor have been in demand by art collectors and enthusiasts for more than 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. Lichtenstein was celebrated for giving ordinary objects, from hot dogs to trash cans, monumental power. He defied traditional "good taste" and became part of the new avant-garde that redefined American art in the 1960s.

In Assouline's coffee-table book "Roy Lichtenstein: The Impossible Collection," one hundred of Lichtenstein's most memorable works, as chosen by art historian Avis Berman, are lavishly reproduced, from the iconic Whaam! and Drowning Girl and later reinterpretations of paintings by Picasso, Matisse and van Gogh to public commissions such as Times Square Mural, installed in New York City's Times Square subway station. With stunning foldout pages that show the breadth of Lichtenstein's art in all its color and beauty, this book is a dream collection for fans of Pop Art around the world.
