Lot Essay

“It started when I tried to photograph a print by Robert Rauschenberg that was under glass. But the light from a window reflected on the surface of the glass and prevented me from taking a good picture. But it gave me the idea … where the reflection would hide most of the work, but you could still make out what the subject was. … It portrays a painting under glass. It is framed and the glass is preventing you from seeing the painting.”
(Roy Lichtenstein, ‘A Review of My Work Since 1961’, in: G. Bader, Roy Lichtenstein, October Files, New York, 2009, p. 69.)
