"Roy Fox Lichtenstein  




(/ˈlɪktənˌstaɪn/ LIK-tən-STYN; October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was an American pop artist. He rose to prominence in the 1960s through pieces which were inspired by popular advertising and the comic book style. 

Much of his work explores the relationship between fine art, advertising, and consumerism. 

Roy's most expensive piece is Masterpiece, which was sold for $165 million in 2017"  

"Lichtenstein did no more or less for comics than Andy Warhol did for soup."


Canned, that is.


And sex, canned. And lofts. 


"The iconic sled from Orson Welles’s 1941 classic Citizen Kane has sold for $14.75m (£11m) at auction.

The item therefore becomes the second most valuable piece of movie memorabilia ever sold, following last December’s sale of a pair of ruby slippers from 1939’s The Wizard of Oz for $32.5m (£24.2m)." 

"To see Rosebud find a new home – and make history in the process – is both surreal and deeply gratifying"
