Historical Description

Roy Lichtenstein, Pyramid, 1968, departs from his comic-inspired narratives to explore the formal language of geometry and abstraction. This elegant screenprint features a single, simplified pyramid rendered in crisp lines, flat planes, and Lichtenstein’s signature Ben-Day dots. Stripped of ornamentation, the form becomes both timeless and modern—an archetype reimagined through the lens of Pop Art. The interplay of light and shadow, conveyed through mechanical precision, suggests depth while maintaining a stylized, graphic clarity. Uniquely minimalist yet unmistakably Lichtenstein, Pyramid bridges ancient symbolism and contemporary visual culture, offering a meditative study in structure, perception, and artistic transformation.

Created in 1968, this Lichtenstein pop art screenprint in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 300, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
