Roy Lichtenstein
American pop artist (1923–1997)
Roy Fox Lichtenstein[2] (; October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was an American pop artist.
He rose to prominence in the 1960s through pieces which were inspired by popular advertising and the comic book style. Much of his work explores the relationship between fine art, advertising, and consumerism.
Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Look Mickey proved to be Lichtenstein's most influential works.[3] His most expensive piece is Masterpiece, which was sold for $165 million in 2017.[4]
Lichtenstein's paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City, which represented him from 1961 onwards.
His artwork was considered to be "disruptive".[5] Lichtenstein described pop art as "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting".[6]
