Lichtenstein Remembered ( Coup de Chapeau I, 1996) poster by Roy Lichtenstein - double sided poster

Such fun! This double sided poster captures something of the spirit of Lichtenstein. Why not buy 2 and display them side by side?

Featuring Coup de Chapeau I (1996), this poster was produced in 2023, in conjunction with the exhibition Lichtenstein Remembered at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York. Organised in close collaboration with the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein, this exhibition of Roy Lichtenstein’s sculptures and related studies was curated by Irving Blum in recognition of the centenary of the artist’s birth.

The double-sided poster pictures both the front and back of Coup de Chapeau I, playing off the tensions between two- and three-dimensionality that are fundamental to Lichtenstein’s approach to sculpture. Instantly recognisable as the artist’s work, the sculpture literally tips a hat to his imagery, with a yellow fedora that evokes Dick Tracy, an arcing form recalling his stylised representations of brushstrokes, and a dynamic burst that resembles his 1960s paintings and sculptural renderings of explosions. Love it.
