ROY LICHTENSTEIN | Modern Room (Study)

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The work has been mounted onto a backing board. There are pinholes, surface abrasions, creases and undulations to the collaged areas which are inherent to the work and in keeping with the artist's working process. There are minor scuffs and areas of skinning in a few isolated places to the outer border of the work which are again in keeping and most likely related to the artist having torn off tapes which held the large sheet in place during the work's execution. Close inspection reveals a short and unobtrusive tear to the upper right corner which has been secured to the backing board.
