Roy Lichtenstein 1923-1997
Roy Lichtenstein’s Wallpaper with Blue Floor Interior (1992) is a monumental five-panel screenprint created in the final years of his career, exemplifying his sustained engagement with the visual language of domestic space. Published by Gemini G.E.L., the work draws upon Lichtenstein’s Interiors series from the early 1990s, which explored modernist design and the constructed image of home environments.
Here, Lichtenstein plays with architectural perspective, flattening depth and heightening spatial ambiguity through bold lines, stylised furniture, and a rhythmic floor pattern. By rendering the entire composition across five seamless panels, the work pushes the boundaries of printmaking and expands the scale of his screen-based investigations.
Executed on Waterleaf paper from Paper Technologies Inc., the piece underscores Lichtenstein’s enduring interest in the interplay between fine art and mass-produced visual forms. The title suggests both function and illusion—“wallpaper” as both decorative motif and visual conceit. This is not a room, but the idea of a room, filtered through Lichtenstein’s singular Pop sensibility.
Wallpaper with Blue Floor Interior is signed and numbered in pencil and is offered by Coskun Fine Art in excellent condition. Full authentication and provenance are available upon request.
