About this work

Roy Lichtenstein's 1994 screen print, "Still Life With Red Jar (C.291)," masterfully reinterprets the classic genre through his iconic Pop Art lens. The composition features a striking red jar, rendered with bold black outlines and a meticulous array of Ben-Day dots that define its form and surrounding elements. Lichtenstein employs the screen printing technique to achieve crisp, flat planes of color and graphic precision, transforming everyday objects into a vibrant, stylized meditation on perception and art historical tradition.

About the Still Lifes Series

Roy Lichtenstein Still Life Prints For Sale

Roy Lichtenstein Still Life prints for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York. The Still Lifes series spans three decades of Lichtenstein's print career — from the early 1970s through the 1990s — and represents his most sustained engagement with the traditional genre of the still life, filtered through his signature Pop graphic vocabulary of Ben-Day dots, flat colour fields, and bold black outlines.

The Series

Lichtenstein's still lifes are not still lives as traditionally understood. Where the genre typically involves careful observation of real objects — fruit, flowers, vessels, books arranged on a table — Lichtenstein's source material is the graphic representation of still-life subjects in popular illustration and commercial printing. He depicts not objects but images of objects: the visual shorthand of a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, a lamp, a pitcher as rendered in the graphic conventions of mass printing.

The result is a body of work that operates on multiple levels simultaneously. These are paintings about painting, prints about the history of printmaking, and Pop objects that use the vocabulary of still-life tradition to examine how consumer culture codes domestic objects with aspirational meaning. His Still Life prints with lobster, crystal bowl, pitcher and flowers, and figurine belong to a tradition that includes Chardin, Cézanne, and Matisse — and his graphic treatment makes that connection explicit while subverting it completely.

The series includes works of extraordinary range: from tightly composed single-object prints to complex multi-element compositions. The Geldzahler Portfolio still life and the Yellow Still Life represent some of the most formally refined works in the series.

Collecting Still Life Prints

Range of subjects. The Still Lifes series encompasses a wider range of subjects than any other single body of work in Lichtenstein's print output. Individual subjects — crystal bowl, lobster, pitcher and flowers, figurine, portrait, red jar, windmill, lemon and glass — appeal to different collector sensibilities and decorative contexts.

Series span. Works produced across three decades show the evolution of his graphic technique from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s. Later Still Life prints tend to be more complex in their compositional structure and graphic layering.

Condition. Standard Lichtenstein screenprint condition considerations apply: UV exposure, flat colour field stability, dot integrity. Request a condition report noting any colour drift or surface abrasion.

Signed impressions. Hand-signed examples command premiums over unsigned impressions from the same edition.

Edition documentation. Corlett catalogue raisonné reference and publisher documentation are essential for all acquisitions.

Authentication

Roy Lichtenstein Still Life prints are authenticated via the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation catalogue raisonné (Corlett). Guy Hepner provides full provenance documentation for all works.

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.
