In 1978, Roy Lichtenstein explored the renowned Rifkind Collection of German Expressionist prints at UCLA, engaging with collector Robert Gore Rifkind. Influenced by this encounter, Lichtenstein's subsequent works in the following years drew inspiration from the likes of Heckel, Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff, and other prominent figures of the Expressionist period. Opting for the woodcut technique, a favored medium among the Expressionists, Lichtenstein's series pays homage to the movement while retaining his distinctive style. Although the resulting images echo iconic prints and incorporate compositional elements from the era, Lichtenstein refrains from direct references, staying true to his signature approach. This series marks a departure for the artist in terms of both color palette and methodology, as he departs from the familiar primary colors and dots prevalent in his earlier graphic works to emulate the emotive essence of Expressionism.

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.
