About this work
Tom Wesselmann stands as one of the defining figures of American Pop Art, his work commanding significant presence in both institutional collections and the secondary market. Alongside his contemporaries, Wesselmann developed a visual language that transformed everyday subjects into bold investigations of American consumer culture, desire, and the female form. His pieces regularly achieve strong results at auction, reflecting sustained collector demand for his distinctive aesthetic. Bedroom Face With Lichtenstein, executed in 1994, exemplifies Wesselmann's mature engagement with art historical dialogue and his signature exploration of the female nude. The work presents a characteristic Wesselmann composition, featuring the abstracted female form rendered in his unmistakable palette of saturated flesh tones and vivid complementary colors. The title itself signals a deliberate conversation with Roy Lichtenstein, acknowledging the shared visual territory these two giants of Pop Art occupied while asserting Wesselmann's own formal concerns. The silkscreen medium, with its flat planes of color and crisp graphic quality, reinforces the commercial and reproductive nature central to Pop Art's conceptual framework. The composition balances sensuality with formal rigor, presenting the female figure through Wesselmann's reductive approach that emphasizes contour, color, and spatial tension. Elements of the domestic interior merge with the body, creating the kind of compressed pictorial space that became Wesselmann's hallmark throughout his career. This work is offered from an edition of sixty-five, providing accessibility to collectors seeking museum-quality examples of post-war American art.

About the Series
Wesselmann was a prolific printmaker throughout his career, working with major publishers and print studios in New York and Europe to produce editions that translate his painted imagery into the reproductive medium with remarkable fidelity.
His Great American Nude prints — screenprints that distil the graphic boldness of his paintings into highly collected limited editions — represent the historical core of his print production. Later editions in the Bedroom, Still Life, and Sunset Nude series demonstrate the evolution of his practice across four decades.
These prints represent accessible and historically significant entry points into one of the canonical careers of American Pop art. Contact Guy Hepner for current inventory.
