Seller's Description:
Whether the artist was Picasso or the art, cartoons; Roy Lichtenstein made a career out of referencing other artists and schools. Context was everything, and Lichtenstein boldly addressed his generations notion of high art and the idea of mechanical reproduction accordingly. In his pursuit to blur the line between high art and low art, originality vs. reproduction, he succeeded in convincing the world that ALL is art.
The Haystack Series was inspired after a trip to Paris upon seeing Monet's Impressionistic paintings of the Haystacks from 1890. Lichtenstein's interpretation, with signature benday dots, lends itself to a post-war, mass produced comic book aesthetic and away from the the lush and loose brushstrokes of Monet's original masterpieces. While they appeared straight off the presses, Lichtensein's benday dots were ironically rendered by hand. Lichtenstein's version is not a pixelated parody, but a meticulous, hand-painted reinterpretation of the work. A Pop Art homage to the great French painter. Fresh, bright impression.

Art Market Data

Roy Lichtenstein Price Development
  • More About this Chart

    • The chart shows the annual average premium prices of lots sold by the artist, which are calculated by dividing the total sales volume of the premium prices of all lots sold by the number of lots sold. For 2009, the data included in the calculations is current through the 15th of June. The charts will be updated every three months.

      The data is culled from the artnet Price Database, which has collected auction sales results for over twenty years.

      Prices are stated in USD in order to facilitate comparison and analysis of the market reports. When sales took place in another currency, the conversion of that amount into USD was done on the basis of the average conversion rate applicable on the day of the sale.

      Although most auction houses these days report transactions in prices that include a buyer’s premium, some auction houses report only the hammer price. Based on an analysis of historical auction catalogs, we apply a formula to all records with hammer prices to estimate the effect of a buyer’s premium. All prices used in the charts are either reported in or equated to hammer price plus buyer’s premium.
