American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) rose to prominence in the 1960s with his groundbreaking comic strips and advertisements.

At 16, he enrolled in summer classes at the Art Students League and worked under the guidance of Reginald Marsh. His 1974 Yellow Still Life (from the Six Still Lives series) is available in this auction. It is a lithograph and screenprint in colors on BFK Rives paper.
