The most comprehensive collection on Lichtenstein, from the
earliest reviews to recent reassessments, including several
hard-to-find and previously unpublished pieces. Roy Lichtenstein's
popular appeal-and his influence on pop culture, seen in everything
from greeting cards to sitcoms-at times overshadows his importance
to contemporary art. Yet, examined on its own terms, Lichtenstein's
comics-inspired, deadpan artwork remains as truly unsettling to
art-world orthodoxies today as when it first gained wide attention
in the early 1960s. Lichtenstein (1923-1997), a central figure in
Pop, consistently savaged the rules of painting-while remaining
committed to the most traditional procedures and goals of the
medium. (He once said, "The things that I have apparently parodied
I actually admire and I really don't know what the implication of
that is.") This book offers the most comprehensive collection of
writings on Lichtenstein's work to appear in thirty-five years,
with early reviews, artist interviews and statements (some never
before published), and recent reassessments. The book includes
Donald Judd's reviews of Lichtenstein's three solo Pop shows in the
early 1960s, an essay on the artist's 1969 Guggenheim
retrospective, interviews that touch on topics ranging from the New
York art world to Monet and Matisse, the transcript of a 1995 slide
presentation in which Lichtenstein surveyed three decades of his
work, and an in-depth study of Lichtenstein's first Pop painting,
Look Mickey (1961). The texts explore Lichtenstein's career across
the boundaries of medium and period, excavating early critical
discussions and surveying more recent reexaminations of his
artistic practice. The collection will be an indispensable resource
for those interested in Lichtenstein, Pop Art, and American culture
of the 1960s. Contributors Graham Bader, Yve-Alain Bois, John
Coplans, David Deitcher, Hal Foster, John Jones, Donald Judd, Max
Kozloff, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Roy Lichtenstein, Michael Lobel
