Description

An exceptional selection of Lichtenstein's sculptures from 1968 to the end of the artist's life, from early ceramic sculptures to large-scale public works. The planned exhibition at the Fondazione Vedova in Venice (Biennale Arte 2013) will encompass Roy Lichtenstein's sculptural production throughout his career, from the early 1960s through to the late 1990s, presenting his influential sculptural oeuvre in ceramic, bronze, wood, porcelain, steel and aluminium, as well as drawings, collages, and maquettes that describe the artist's working processes. The catalogue, a major chronology of Lichtenstein's sculptures, not only documents is production practice - from sketches and drawings to collages, maquettes, metal sculptures and large-scale interventions in urban contexts, but approaches Lichtenstein's work from the perspective of fabrication methods and industrial techniques.
