Lot 443 | Roy Lichtenstein
(1923 New York - 1997 ebenda) "Reverie" (Tagträume). Originaltitel Farbserigraphie/Velin, 1965. Signatur u. römisch nummeriert "XIII" (von 50). Einer von 50 römisch nummerierten Abzügen (außer 200 arabisch nummerierten Exemplaren und wahrscheinlich 5 Künstlerabzügen). Blatt 4 aus "11 Pop Artists II". Herausgegeben von Original Editions, gedruckt von Knickerbocker Machine & Foundry Inc., New York. Wvz. Corlett 38. Das Blatt zeigt das ausschnitthafte Porträt einer jungen blonden Frau mit Mikrofon in der Hand und einer Sprechblase mit Textzeile "The Melody Haunts My Reverie" und Notenzeichen. Es ist nicht nur eines der bedeutendsten Arbeiten im grafischen Oeuvre des Künstlers, sondern zugleich eines der frühesten Beispiele im neuen, von Comics inspirierten Pop Art-Stil Lichtensteins. "Reverie" reiht sich in eine Motivserie mit blonden Frauen in melodramatischen Situationen ein, mit denen er in den 1960er Jahren zeitgenössische Comic-Erzählungen imitierte. Typisch sind extreme Close-ups, übergroße Sprechblasen; stilbildend war die Verwendung regelmäßig gesetzter Punkte mit dem Effekt überdimensionaler Rasterpunkte (Benday Dots). Mit "Reverie" hob er den Comic auf das Niveau der hohen Kunst. An der rechten Blattkante ger. knickfaltig. Blatt 68,7 cm x 56,7 cm. Ein weiteres Exemplar befindet sich u. a. im Museum of Modern Art, New York. Screenprint (serigraph) in colours on off-white wove paper, 1965. Hand-signed and numbered "XIII" in Roman numerals. One of 50 proofs numbered in Roman numerals (there were also 200 prints in Arabic numerals and approximately 5 artist"s proofs). From "11 Pop Artists", volume II. Minor creases to the right edge.
