Artist: Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997).
Title: "Crak! [Philadelphia Museum]".
Medium: Original color lithograph poster.
Date: Composed 1989.
Dimensions: Overall size: 27 x 36 in. (686 x 914 mm). Image size: 22 1/2 x 32 1/2 in. (571 x 825 mm).
Lot Note(s): Signed in pencil, lower right. A printer's proof. White wove paper. The full sheet. Good impression. Fair to good condition; rippling far left, where the sheet became damp, with ink bleed-through to the verso; even with this fault it still presents very well; conservation worthwhile and should prove successful but could be left as is. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Corlett II.2. Provenance: Through a relative of the printer. Comment(s): This version of the famous poster is very rare. Apparently the exhibition was never held; the poster run of 2,500 was destroyed. Only a few posters, owned by the printer, survived, later to suffer water dampness. Unknown to Corlett and Doering/Von der Osten. No auction records in the past 25 years located. Likewise, signed examples (with letters) of the 1963 Castelli poster are very uncommon. The last auction record we could find of a signed impression of the Castelli poster is Nagel Auktionen, Leipzig, 04/30/2004, offered at $3,474 [EU2900]. Image copyright © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein.
