Fine Art at Auction – Sale 221

A leading figure in the Pop Art movement and beyond, Roy Lichtenstein experimented with both Abstract Expressionism and graphic works during his career. One of Lichtenstein’s watercolor paintings from 1952 is available in the upcoming Fine Art at Auction event, presented by Rachel Davis Fine Arts. In the 1950s, his subjects were mostly derived from mythology, American history, and folklore.

In this upcoming sale, 430 lots of oil paintings,sculptures, and ceramics created by contemporary artists will be presented. Leading the auction is a color screenprint by Bridget Riley. Using pastel tones, Riley’s minimalistic screenprint depicts curved lines at regular intervals. These lines create an illusion of movement. Also showcased is a lithograph and serigraph by Frank Stella. His style is characterized by the use of geometric patterns and shapes. The artist describes his paintings as a narration of a story with shapes: “It wouldn’t be a literal story, but the shapes and the interaction of the shapes and colors would give you a narrative sense.” View the complete collection and place a bid at Bidsquare.
