Warhol was part of a group show at the Chelsea Gallery in New York City which was titled (appropriately) "The Art of Money." The poster for the exhibition (April 28 to May 2, 1969) was designed as a mailer - our example was folded for mailing but unused. In the middle of the poster Warhol has drawn his trademark dollar sign. Even without Warhol's drawing the poster itself is very rare.

  • Southern Comfort
    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

  • Room 10 Consuming Pop
    Room 10 Consuming Pop 101 The relationship between art and consumer society is a thread that runs throughout pop art, and this final room deals directly with the lure and act of consumption. The risk that art itself might become a consumable product is mooted in some works here, but others proclaim the power of art to subvert and oppose the operations of global capitalism. Thomas Bayrle’s The Laughing Cow wallpaper makes the cheese company icon omnipresent and inescapable, while Boris Bućan’s series of brand logos transformed into ‘art’ reflect Yugoslavia’s transition to consumerist culture. Advertising always shows consumption as pleasurable. Many works here expose the coercion that backs it up, from the bars on the screen in Sanja Iveković’s video Sweet Violence , to the aggressively proffered American products in Keiichi Tanaami’s Commercial War animation. 102 Wall labels Clockwise from right of wall text Thomas Bayrle 1937 Born and works Germany The Laughing Cow (Blue) Wallpaper La Vache qui rit (blau) Tapete 1967/2015 Wallpaper, silkscreen on paper Courtesy the artist, Air de Paris and Groupe Bel, Paris X50880 32 103 Komar and Melamid Vitaly Komar 1943 Alexander Melamid 1945 Born Russia (former USSR), work USA Post Art No 1 (Warhol) Post Art No 2 (Lichtenstein) Post Art No 3 (Indiana) 1973 Oil paint on canvas Russian artists Komar and Melamid reappropriated canonical American works, copying them from reproductions in Lucy Lippard’s seminal book Pop Art (1966).

  • Early Roy Lichtenstein: a Fount of Insight on Postwar America
    Early Roy Lichtenstein: A fount of insight on postwar America By Murray Whyte Globe Staff,Updated May 7, 2021, 47 minutes ago Roy Lichtenstein's "Washington Crossing the Delaware II," from about 1951.ESTATE OF ROY LICHTENSTEIN/COURTESY OF GABRIEL MILLER WATERVILLE, Maine — In 1940, an Ohio State undergraduate named Roy Lichtenstein — yes, that Roy Lichtenstein — made a loose and gestural ink sketch of Paul Bunyan felling a tree with a mighty swing. He passed it off to his roommate with a wink. Keep it, he said. I’m going to be famous someday. Someday came, and famous he was, though not for works like that. In 1961, Lichtenstein made “Look Mickey,” his first-ever appropriation of a four-color pulp illustration. (He lifted it from the 1960 kids’ book “Donald Duck: Lost and Found.”) That anchored him as one of the pillars of the thoroughly American Pop Art movement. But “Roy Lichtenstein: History in the Making, 1948-1960,” at the Colby College Museum of Art, isn’t about any of that. It’s about Lichtenstein before he became Lichtenstein, and it’s a revelation: A fresh view of an artist who reached a saturation point so long ago he can feel as familiar and over-worn as old wallpaper. “History in the Making” is instead unfamiliar, exhilaratingly so, spanning the artist’s long teaching stints in Cleveland and upstate New York, up to a breath before that fateful Mickey steered his course into mass-cultural history. The show captures a young artist in a postwar moment, unmoved by the sunny optimism of a burgeoning American dream and driven to peel back its thin myths.

  • Pop Art with Roy Lichtenstein
    January 2020 The Studiowith ART HIST RY KIDS Pop Art with Roy Lichtenstein Observe | Discuss | Discover | Create | Connect Pop Art with The Studiowith Roy Lichtenstein ART HIST RY KIDS INTRODUCTION The art of the ordinary Roy Lichtenstein’s successful art career was based on one simple idea – creating fine art inspired by images we see everyday. His art captures the ordinary things that surround us – advertisements, comic books, the painting of other famous artists like Picasso, Mondrian, Matisse, and Monet, and even Micky Mouse cartoons. He took these ideas and recreated them on a larger than life scale. Most of his can- vases are grand and oversized – they are truly bold and impactful when seen in person! He also infused little bits of commentary in his art, and he became known for his skillful use of parody. You don’t need to study every piece of art that’s included in this guide. Feel free to choose just a few that are most interesting to your kids. A range of subject matter is included here, but if some of these paintings are too intense for your kids– just skip them for now, and come back to them when they are older! There’s no hurry, and there are plenty of paintings included here that are perfect for young kids. Pop Art looks out into the world. This is your week to look closely at the “ art and chat about it. We’ll learn all It doesn’t look like a painting of about Lichtenstein and his art next something, it looks like the thing week.

  • Roy Lichtenstein, Sociedad Moderna Como Expresión Artística. Rocio Castillo Rojas. “El Pop Art Mira Hacia El Mundo. No Parec
    Roy Lichtenstein, sociedad moderna como expresión artística. Rocio Castillo Rojas. “El Pop Art mira hacia el mundo. No parece una pintura de algo, se parece a la cosa en sí misma”1. De esta forma Roy Lichtenstein intentaba responder la pregunta del crítico de arte, G.R. Swenson, ¿Qué es el Pop Art? (1963) y es que para entonces ya se reconocía el valor de sus obras para el enaltecimiento artístico de la sociedad moderna. A fines de los 50, el Pop Art surgía como reacción al Expresionismo Abstracto representando imágenes y elementos de la sociedad moderna caracterizada por el consumismo, los medios de comunicación masivos, la moda, la tecnología, el capitalismo, etc. Sus principales impulsores buscaban convertir la cotidianeidad de la cultura occidental en una obra estética de forma crítica e inteligente, entre ellos destaca la obra de Roy Lichtenstein. Lichtenstein nace en 1923, en Nueva York, EEUU, siendo el primero de dos hijos del matrimonio entre Milton y Beatrice Lichtenstein. Desde joven presentó habilidades artísticas y musicales: dibujaba, pintaba, esculpía, tocaba piano y clarinete, y desarrollo una gran afición por el jazz. El verano de 1940, año en que se graduó de preparatoria, estudió pintura y dibujo en la Art Students League de Nueva York con Reginald Marsh. Ese mismo año ingresó a la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad Estatal de Ohio, pero no fue hasta 1946 que logró graduarse como Bachelor of Fine Art, desde entonces comenzó su carrera como académico en la misma Universidad Estatal de Ohio y en paralelo preparó su maestría la cual obtuvo en 1949.

  • Dorothy Lichtenstein (Dl)
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM INTERVIEW WITH: DOROTHY LICHTENSTEIN (DL) NTERVIEWER: AGNES GUND (AG) LOCATION: NEW YORK, NEW YORK DATE: MAY 6, 1998 BEGIN MINICASSETTE MASTER TAPE 1, SIDE A AG: I'd like to thank you, first of all, for doing this. It's very nice of you. The first question that I'd like to ask you is, how did you and Roy meet, the first time? DL: The first time we met, I was working at a gallery, the Bianchini Gallery. That was around the corner from the Castelli Gallery at 4 East 77th Street. We were on 78th Street, and, in fact, that's the gallery that Rosa Esmond has now, Ubu Gallery [16 East 78th Street]. AG: Oh, is that her gallery? DL: Yes. We were doing a show called The Great American Supermarket, based on the fact that so much of the work in the early '60s imitated commercial products and ads, so we thought to set the exhibition up. AG: That's great. And this was a contemporary gallery? DL: Yes. When I started working there, Paul Bianchini owned it, and he did mostly drawing shows of modern masters, but, say, French and Europeans and mostly pre-war, but he would have had Dubuffet and Giacometti.
