'America: The Third Century' 1976- Serigraph

1976

About the Item

This serigraph poster by Allan D'Arcangelo was created in 1976 to commemorate the American Bicentennial, celebrating 200 years of the nation's independence. Known for his distinct blend of Pop Art and Hard-Edge Abstraction, D'Arcangelo masterfully captures the spirit of American progress and modernity. The poster is a powerful visual statement, employing bold geometric shapes, flat color fields, and sharp, clean lines—hallmarks of D'Arcangelo’s signature style. Drawing on his fascination with American infrastructure, roads, and bridges, this piece reflects themes of movement, freedom, and forward momentum, echoing the essence of the nation's journey toward progress. The use of primary colors, such as red, white, and blue, nods to the American flag, reinforcing the patriotic theme of the Bicentennial. D'Arcangelo's abstract approach to iconography makes this work symbolic rather than literal. Instead of direct references to historical figures or events, he evokes America's broader ideals of expansion, unity, and the endless horizon—a perfect reflection of the optimism and renewal celebrated during the Bicentennial. As part of a larger artistic effort to commemorate the United States' 200th anniversary, this poster holds cultural and historical significance. It embodies the intersection of art, patriotism, and American identity, making it a highly collectible piece of Bicentennial ephemera. Collectors and enthusiasts of American Pop Art, 20th-century poster art, and historical memorabilia regard it as a quintessential work of its era, reflecting both D'Arcangelo’s artistic legacy and the lasting impact of the Bicentennial celebration.

Mirror #9 (C.114, Mirror Series), 1972
By Roy Lichtenstein
Located in Greenwich, CT
Mirror #9 (C.114) from the Mirror Series is a screenprint and lithograph on paper, 30 x 21.18 inches, signed and dated 'rf Lichtenstein '72' lower center margin and framed in a contemporary white frame. Catalog - Corlett, The Prints of Roy Lichtenstein - A Catalogue Raisonne 1948 - 1997, Hudson Hills Press, NY and National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., 2002, pg.126, #114. About Lichtenstein’s Mirror Series (taken from Corlett): Mirrors were an important subject in Lichtenstein’s paintings and prints of the early 1970s. From late 1969 to 1972 he painted over forty canvases depicting this subject. The first print was in 1970, with Twin Mirrors (cat. no.102) for the Guggenheim Museum. In 1972 he also produced Mirror (cat. No. 115) at Styria Studio, in addition to this Gemini G.E.L. series of nine prints. In the mid-seventies he took up the subject in sculpture, and he returned to it in prints as recently 1990, with Mirror (cat. No 246). In addition, he has often explored the related theme of reflections, incorporating them in various paintings and in several print series: Reflections (1990; cat. Nos. 239 – 245), Interiors (1990, published 1991; cat. nos. 247 – 54), and Water Lilies (1992; cat. nos. 261 – 66). This Gemini group (catalog nos. 1-6 - 114) utilizes lithography, screenprint, line-cut, and embossing... In an interview with Lawrence Alloway, Lichtenstein noted: “You know, I am always impressed by how artificial things look – like descriptions of office furniture in newspapers. It is the most dry kind of drawing, as in the Mirrors. They really only look like mirrors if someone tells you they do. Only once you know that, they may be moved as far as possible from realism, but you want it to be taken for realism. It becomes as stylized as you can get away with, in an ordinary sense, not stylish.” As Jack Cowart has commented: “One would not actually stand in front of a Lichtenstein Mirror...
