About the Item

Roy Lichtenstein Paintings Drawings Collages Prints at Kent State University, 1976 Historic Offset Lithograph Poster 21 × 15 3/4 inches Unframed Limited edition highly collectible vintage Roy Lichtenstein poster. It was acquired from the estate of Ohio artist Joseph O' Sickey, a personal friend of Roy Lichtenstein, who was involved with the creation of the show. Very few of these posters remain, and in fact the only other one we have seen in recent years also came from O'Sickey's estate. "Lichtenstein", 1976, exhibition invite/poster, Kent State University School of Art, January 4-23-1976, lithograph on paper. This image is a 2 color version of Lichtenstein's 1972 work "still life with goldfish bowl and painting of a golf ball", which was inspired by Henri Matisses's 1912 work "goldfish." In very good condition with original folds, as issued Over the course of his career, Roy Lichtenstein designed 70 posters to promote music and film festivals, political campaigns, nonprofit organizations, his own exhibitions, and more. Released in 1962, Lichtenstein’s first poster depicts a series of shaking hands, which celebrated his inaugural exhibition at the influential Leo Castelli Gallery. Since the posters were folded and sent by mail, these early exhibition advertisements (or “mailers”) are creased at the centerfold—a remnant from this bygone era of gallery advertising. By the mid-1960s, Lichtenstein’s cartoon aesthetic turned him into a household name, and the Pop artist began receiving commissions from institutions across the country—from New York’s Lincoln Center to Hollywood’s 20th Century Fox—to design their posters as well. In later decades, Lichtenstein would go on to leverage his worldwide fame to champion humanitarian causes and political campaigns. For example, his poster Oval Office (1992) was part of a fundraiser to support 10 female candidates running for the United States Senate.
