Superb illustrations, intelligent text!
9 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
Taschen triumphs again with a beautifully produced overview of Lichtenstein's entire career, with excellent reproductions of his major works and some less wellknown pieces. Essential.

Slightly disappointing
14 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being a fan of the Modern Masters series, I was a little disappointed with this book, not because of its text, which is full of information and insightul remarks written by a leading art historian, but because of the illustrations, most of which are in black and white. Lichtenstein's works gain a lot at being well reproduced and, in this case, this is a major flaw. Apart from that, the entire career of the artist is studied and most of his major works, especially the paintings from the 1960's, are illustrated.

Pop at its best
9 April 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is the catalogue for an exhibition held at the Kunsthaus Bregenz in 2006. It studies Lichtenstein's work chronologically and dividing it by themes (women, interiors, early paintings...). The reproductions are very good and even show the paintings in their current frame (an unusual step which I think gives an extra dimension to the works). A very interesting book, easy to read, on an artist that changed the way we look at art.
