Lichtenstein Posters Paperback – September 3, 2019

Roy Lichtenstein’s masterful Pop Art posters from 1962 to 1997 are showcased in this collection of 68 full-color reproductions.

Lichtenstein’s art is most recognizable for its trademark benday dots and two-dimensional planes, cartoonlike qualities that placed him at the forefront of the American Pop Art scene. With its emphasis on consumer culture, Lichtenstein’s style lent itself easily to the poster genre. This volume opens with his earliest poster, designed for his first exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery in 1962, and closes with his last, which he completed the year of his death. An additional section features reproductions from the Claus von Olden collection and includes posters and flyers that were produced all over the world using Lichtenstein’s iconic motifs. The works reflect Lichtenstein’s prolific imagination and ability to adapt his vision to the promotion of music and film festivals, theatrical performances, museums, restaurants, and public service messages as well as his own exhibitions. An essay discusses Lichtenstein’s development as an artist who blurred the boundaries between lowbrow and highbrow art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book!
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2009

If you love great posters, and Roy Lichtenstein, this is the book for you. Well organized with publishing information and large pictures in great color, this book covers all the posters designed by Roy himself. You will likely see posters you've never seen before,and wished you could have for yourself. Most of the posters, especially exhibition posters, were small print runs. There are also many posters printed for shows and other events outside the U.S. A great addition to the books on Roy Lichtenstein.

Book arrived with weird peeling on front cover, edges that look well used, the spine bent as if read and returned and damage that appears from water. The actual content is great but seeing as this was to be a Christmas present and just arrived on the evening of the 23rd....not good. I can't believe something this damaged was shipped out as new.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2009
This is a wonderful addition to the books published on Roy Lichtenstein. This is a large format hardcover that reproduces the posters created by Roy Lichtenstein. It's interesting to see his art applied to these more commercial projects and the tall format works perfectly. If you like Lichtenstein this is a fresh new look at his art.

Roy Lichenstein is one of my favorite artists and this book does a great job representing many of his posters throughout the years. I only wished that more of his "non-poster" artwork would have been included. The book's spine was heavily worn in as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars É un libro
Reviewed in Italy on May 23, 2018

É arrivato un libro . Le immagini sono molto belle ma non sono dei posters. Racchiude le sue opere più importanti e con una buona stampa anche se ovviamente la carta è quella da rilegatura di un libro lucida.
Per il mio scopo non andava bene ma come libro è bello .

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful coffee table book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2016

A beautiful coffee table book , full colour and good paper. The large format might make it difficult to fit on bookshelves with fixed shelving though. I was very happy with my purchase and it was delivered within a couple of days of ordering. This book concentrates on Lichtenstein's posters and isn't an entire overview of his life and works.

Excellent, large format book.

The quality of the print is very good indeed.

The large format is a wonderful platform for some great works of art.

That being said, this does not fit on my bookshelf, so resides on the coffee table.

At this low price, it is a must have, not only for Lichtenstein fans, but Pop Art fans in general.
