Roy Lichtenstein As I Opened Fire Tryptich of 3 

The Complete Set (Triptych) of Three Offset-Lithographs printed on white heavy wove paper. Limited Edition Set of 3150 released in 1983 Professionally framed by The Museum of Amsterdam. Roy Lichtenstein was an American Pop Artist known for his influence on the Pop Art movement during the 1960's in New York. Roy Lichtenstein mined advertisements and comics to make groundbreaking paintings that brought American pop culture into the gallery space. Undermining the distinction between painting and printing making canvases that looked as though they’d come from a commercial press; using paint and stencils, he meticulously rendered flat, single-color benday dots by hand. Lichtenstein introduced his detached and deadpan style in 1961 when he painted Look Mickey, a picture of the cartoon mouse executed in primary colors. Five years later, he represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. By the 1970s, he’d already enjoyed major shows at the Pasadena Art Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Guggenheim. Lichtenstein’s work has sold for more than $90 million at auction.
