Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein, a prominent pop artist, drew inspiration from advertisements and comic strips to create innovative paintings that fused American pop culture with fine art. He handcrafted flat, single-color benday dots using paint and stencils, debuting his signature style in 1961 with "Look Mickey." By 1966, he represented the U.S. at the Venice Biennale, gaining significant recognition in the 1970s through major exhibitions. His artworks have sold for over $90 million at auction, influencing artists like Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, and Raymond Pettibon.
