Roy Lichtenstein, the American painter, sculptor, and printmaker, is one of the most celebrated figures of the Pop Art movement. Rising to prominence in the 1960s, Lichtenstein became renowned for his comic book-inspired imagery, use of bold outlines, and signature Ben-Day dots, which transformed everyday popular culture into high art. By appropriating and recontextualising imagery from comics, advertisements, and mass media, Lichtenstein created works that both celebrated and critiqued consumer culture. His instantly recognisable style has made him one of the most influential and widely collected artists of the 20th century, with works housed in major museums and commanding record breaking auction results.
