LICHTENSTEIN
Still Life with Palette, 1972
Oil and Magna on canvas
60 x 96 inches (152.4 x 243.8 cm)
When we think of still lifes, we think of paintings that have a
certain atmosphere or ambience. My still life paintings have none of
those qualities, they just have pictures of certain things that are in a
still life, like lemons and grapefruits and so forth. It's not meant to
have the usual still life meaning.

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present "Roy Lichtenstein: Still Lifes,"
the first exhibition devoted solely to Lichtenstein's still life
