Edition of 16 plus 9 AP
Influenced by the architectural facades and decorative patterns observed in and around Wall Street and Lower Manhattan, this series delves into key themes within Lichtenstein's artistry, particularly focusing on texture, surface intricacies, relief, and reflectivity. Titled after the horizontal structures crowning columns in Classical Greek architecture, Lichtenstein's Entablatures take on a distinctly American character, stemming from a revivalist approach to architectural imitation that proliferated during the early twentieth century's industrialized era. By isolating stereotypical symbols associated with what the artist terms "imperial power" and "the establishment," Lichtenstein examines the impact of mass production and replication on cultural symbols. This exploration, marked by a continuous investigation into patterns and repetition, also highlights the subtle influences of Classical order evident in Minimalist sculpture and Color Field painting.

Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and one of the most actively traded artists on the post-war and contemporary market. His bold graphic language — Ben-Day dots, black outlines, primary palettes drawn from comic books and advertising — is among the most instantly recognisable in twentieth-century art. Born in New York City, he was exhibited by Leo Castelli Gallery from 1962 and worked until his death in September 1997, producing one of the most extensively documented print catalogues of any artist of his generation.
Roy Lichtenstein art for sale spans signed prints, paintings, and unique works across his full catalogue. His most collected categories: signed and numbered screenprints and lithographs from the major series, unique works on paper, and large-format canvas paintings. The auction benchmark was set when Masterpiece (1962) sold for $165 million in a private transaction in 2017, and Nurse (1964) achieved $95.4 million at Christie's New York in 2015. Major print series regularly achieve $100,000–$2 million at Sotheby's, Christie's, and Phillips.
The most liquid and accessible segment of his market. Working with Gemini G.E.L., Petersburg Press, and Castelli Graphics, Lichtenstein produced lithographs, screenprints, woodcuts, and relief prints across three decades. Key series at Guy Hepner:
