Roy Lichtenstein’s, Imperfect 63 3/8" x 88 7/8", 1988, showcases his bold late period exploration of geometric disruption and controlled asymmetry. Clean outlines and crisp angular shapes create a rhythmic composition that is intentionally broken by “imperfect” extensions pushing past the frame. These deliberate shifts introduce energy, tension, and playful unpredictability into the otherwise structured design. Polished, striking, and conceptually engaging, Imperfect 63 3/8" x 88 7/8" reflects Lichtenstein’s mastery of blending precision with inventive visual interruption.
Created in 1988, this Lichtenstein pop art Woodcut in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’. Numbered from the edition of 45, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.

Roy Lichtenstein's Imperfect Series of 1988 is a fascinating group of works that represents a departure from the comic book imagery that defined much of his career. In these massive works, Lichtenstein moves away from representation toward webs abstract geometric shapes filled with flat color, dots, and repetitive lines. The artist seems to be greatly influenced by Neo-Geo (short for Neo-Geometric Conceptualism), a style which gained popularity at the time these works were created.
