I'm confused you said yours were posters at the start of the thread.

I've one of these and they are certainly better than the posters. While not massively limited due to large number produced they rarely come up for sale. The Tate produced them to pay for the original purchase of the painting. The poster available now are on cheap glossy paper, these were printed on heavier stock and in my opinion are very nice. £750 seems about in line with what they sell for at auction.

yes i could ship them, rolled would not be that expensive....

Enjoyed that, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up , I'll have to catch it on iplayer.

Was on a train at the time, think I may need to iplayer this one

Yeah, was a good show, thanks for the heads up.

Been offered this

Roy Lichtenstein Artist's Studio, Look Mickey

Printed in 1988 by Fantoni Grafica

I know there are some collectors on here that are knowledgeable in this area...

Could anyone tell me a little bit more about this? Are these considered 'collectable' lichtenstien prints? what are these worth? etc.

Thanks in advance

I'm not an expert, but I believe that is a poster edition and not a signed/numbered print, so value should be quite low.

Just a quick edit: there are Castelli prints kinda like a poster (unknown edition size) that have a number of signed copies these are highly collectable, but unfortunately this is not anything like that.

GL, It looks great anyway ;D

Or i found this -

About The Poster:

Printed in 1988 by Fantoni Grafica, Venezia, this classic Lichenstein piece has all the hallmarks of this 20th artist. Piece is in very good condition, unlined, with a small nick on the top edge which will not show when framed. Overall, A-.

Roy Lichtenstein began producing Pop Art paintings--based on the imagery of consumerism and popular culture--in the early 1960s, and he is most often associated with paintings and prints based on comic strips. When once asked how he selected his images, Lichtenstein explained, "I go through comic books looking for material which seems to hold possibilities for painting, both in its visual impact and the impact of its written message. . . . I try to take messages which are kind of universal or, in a way, either completely meaningless or so involved that they become ludicrous."
Although not based on an actual comic book image, Lichtenstein's Artist's Studio No. 1 is stylistically similar to his cartoon translations. Like the numerous artist's studio paintings produced in Western art since the 16th century, Lichtenstein depicts his artistic environment and acknowledges his accomplishment as an artist by including examples of his pioneering work, such as Look Mickey .... Unlike other, more traditional depictions of artists' studios, however, Lichtenstein satirizes his own artwork by painting the studio in the impersonal comic strip style that had made him famous.

Recent auction estimates for this piece have been between $500-750US.

two diffrent prices there if you can get it for around the first one could be a good buy ;D

ask to buy it unframed might get it for £70ish plus you get to see if there is any damage as all the ones ive seen have as its only a poster

if you like the image and it will go on your wall take the punt

brushstrokes is prob your man

Interesting poster but as you say in the wrong frame.

I've been a big Lichtenstein fan for many years and have high hopes for the upcoming retrospective:

The Art Institute of Chicago (May 16–September 3, 2012)
National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (October 14–January 13, 2013)
Tate Modern, London (February 21–May 27, 2013)
Centre Pompidou, Paris (July 3–November 4, 2013)

That's the one Andy! Cheers for that- dimensions check out exactly which is promising, doesn't explain the signature but I suppose it's not inconceivable that some of these could have been signed at a show??

Great book by the way- must look around for a copy

Retrospective looks great Maroom- look forward to it at the Tate!
