  • PRESS RELEASE Presents Top of The
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Presents Top of the Pop Live on artnet Auctions from February 18 through 27, 2014 Roy Lichtenstein Sweet Dreams Baby!, 1965 Screenprint 35.63 x 25.56 in. 90.5 x 64.9 cm. Signed and numbered Edition 49/200 Est. US$100,000-125,000 New York / Berlin, February 19, 2014—artnet Auctions is pleased to announce the highly anticipated Top of the Pop print sale, which features over 50 classic Pop prints by artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, Robert Rauschenberg, and Tom Wesselmann. This dazzling, curated selection of iconic Pop prints is perfect for both new and seasoned Pop Art collectors. Among the sale’s highlights is one of the most famous Pop prints of all time, Roy Lichtenstein’s 1965 Sweet Dreams Baby!, estimated at US$100,000 to 125,000. With its irreverent comic book character on the business end of a knock-out punch, Lichtenstein challenges the reigning Abstract Expressionist movement’s anti-figure aesthetic and emotional intensity, and instead finds inspiration in the popular press. Another Lichtenstein print in the sale, Foot and Hand (1964), estimated at US$15,000 to 20,000, also draws inspiration from a violent comic book image, this time of a boot stepping on a hand reaching for a pistol. The work shows the development of the artist’s visual shorthand, which would define his work for the next 33 years. The sale also features superb examples of Lichtenstein’s later work, including his portrait of Lady Liberty, I Love Liberty (1982), estimated at US$35,000 to 45,000, and The Oval Office (1992), estimated at US$40,000 to 45,000.

Henrlksen Every four years the world becomes aware of speed skat­ ing, America's most productive medal producer in the Winter Games. Erik Helden's outstanding five gold medal performance at Lake Placid (I960) was a highlight of the outstanding achievements of our fantastic skaters. The USA's medal production Is even more remarkable, since Olympic (or metric) speed Bkating is not the most popular form of ice racing practiced by the thousands of American youngsters who skate on 'long blades." Olympic skating takes place outdoors on a large 400 meter oval. Two competitors are paired In each race. In Olympic or World Competition, where a total of fifty of the world's finest skaters may compete, the winners are chosen on the fastest times skated.It Is not unlikely that the gold and silver medalists could come from the same pairing. Even though a skater was second in his pairing, his time could be second best in the competition, and earn him the silver medal. American skating, from the time a youngster puts on his first pair of skates until he reaches his late teens, has been what we call "pack-style skating." This exciting form of racing is similar to track. Six to eight skaters start on the line in heats, and are advanced to semi-finals or finals on the basis of placement In their races.
