Product description
đ Roy Lichtenstein: Still Life with Crystal Bowl â 1982 â Original A1 Exhibition Poster â JosefâHaubrichâKunsthalle Köln
Pop Art still life for Museum Ludwigâs Cologne show | 10. MĂ€rz â 25. April 1982
| Offset lithograph | 84.1 Ă 59.4 cm | Germany
đŹ Introduction
A crisp still life rendered in Lichtensteinâs signature graphic vocabulary, this A1 exhibition poster stages a crystal compote piled with lemons, bananas, grapes, and apples, all corralled by assertive black contour lines. The fruit vibrates against taut horizontal striping; the chalice and drapery resolve into disciplined linear hatchingâa knowing nod to both print mechanics and Old Master shading. The image floats within a cool grey field above sober museum typography, underscoring its institutional provenance.
Issued for the 1982 presentation at the JosefâHaubrichâKunsthalle under Museum Ludwig, Fruchtkorb reframes the classical still life through a Pop lens, collapsing high and low, painting and print, gallery and billboard. Itâs a tightly composed statement of Lichtensteinâs mature stillâlife idiom, translated into the public language of the museum poster.
âš Why It Matters
Original, dateâspecific museum posters from Lichtenstein shows are coveted as ephemera that bridged fine art and graphic designâand rarely survived beyond the exhibition run. This Cologne edition marks a transatlantic collaboration with the Saint Louis Art Museum and support from the American Express Foundation, emblematic of earlyâ1980s cultural exchange and corporate arts patronage. The large DIN A1 format delivers the image at impactful scale with crisp offset fidelity, appealing equally to Pop Art collectors, design historians, and museumâephemera specialists.
