About the Item

Roy Lichtenstein Mirror Images Offset Lithograph 2000 33.07 x 23.22 inches (84 x 59 cm) Unsigned as issued Publisher: VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn - Germany COA provided The exhibition in Wolfsburg, Germany focuses on Roy Lichtenstein's "Mirror Paintings" and the "Reflections," which belong to a thematic complex that has continually engaged Lichtenstein throughout his decades of work. A fundamental aspect of Roy Lichtenstein's work since the dawn of the Pop era in 1961 is his persistent, almost obsessive engagement with the aesthetic canons of classical European modernism. From Picasso, Matisse, and Léger to Mondrian, Dalí, and Magritte, there is hardly an artist or style he has not commented on, paraphrased, and ironically questioned. While his work prominently incorporates the trivial aesthetics of comics and advertising, presenting his critique of America's mass culture and its naive belief in the salvific power of consumption in a manner both direct and subtle, he is equally intensely engaged with the fundamental questions of modernism in its formal, aesthetic, and ideological manifestations. The Mirror series, which Lichtenstein began in 1969, represents a complex intellectual discourse by the artist on the nature of reality and illusion. Inspired by brochures and advertisements from various glass and mirror manufacturers in his neighborhood, he began to explore the depiction of mirrors. In the cheaply produced brochures, the mirrors had become mere symbols of mirrors. Simplified graphical representations showed mirrors in ornate gold frames that appeared predominantly bourgeois, if not aristocratic, transforming them into abstract images.

Robert Longo Biography Robert Longo was born in 1953 in Brooklyn and grew up in Long Island, New York. He graduated high school in 1970, weeks after the Ohio National Guard massacred several students at Kent State University who were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. One of those killed was a former classmate of Longo’s, and his body was shown in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that was seen across the world. The event shocked Longo, triggering his interest in political activism and media imagery. In 1972, Longo received a grant to study restoration and art history in Florence. While touring the museums of Europe, he realized he wanted to make, rather than restore art. In 1973, Longo enrolled at Buffalo State College, where he worked for artists Paul Sharits and Hollis Frampton, who introduced him to structuralist filmmaking. Along with Charles Clough, Longo also co-founded Hallwalls (1974–ongoing), an alternative non-profit art exhibition space where he organized shows and talks with artists such as John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Robert Irwin, Joan Jonas, Bruce Nauman, and Richard Serra. At Buffalo State, Longo started a friendship–that still exists to this day–with Cindy Sherman, and in 1977 the two moved to New York together, where Longo began working as a studio assistant to Vito Acconci and Dennis Oppenheim. That year he was included in the exhibition Pictures at Artist’s Space, curated by Douglas Crimp, which showcased work by a group of five young artists who were engaged with the politics of image-making, drawing from advertisements, newspapers, film, and television. The “Pictures Generation,” as they became known, included artists such as Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Louise Lawler, David Salle, and drew from semiotics and poststructuralist theory to investigate the way meaning is made and circulated in modern society. Their work often critiqued the anaesthetizing power of consumer capitalism and the indoctrinating effects of mass media. At his first solo show at Metro Pictures in 1981, Longo presented his charcoal and graphite Men in the Cities drawings, which instantly became icons of the “Pictures Generation,” and some of the most recognizable artworks of the 1980s. Longo performed in New York rock clubs with the band Menthol Wars with Richard Prince, throughout the 1980s. During that period, he also designed numerous album covers, including Glenn Branca’s The Ascension (1981) and The Replacements’ Tim (1985). In 1986, he directed his first music video for New Order’s chart-topping song Bizarre Love Triangle, and the following year directed The One I Love, a video for R.E.M.’s first hit single. Longo began working with diverse materials at increasingly ambitious scales. His Combines series, first exhibited in 1983, incorporated materials such as paint, graphite, wood, plaster, cast bronze, and steel in works that were part-painting, part-sculptural reliefs. Using Sergei Eisenstein’s theory of montage to juxtapose conflicting imagery and forms, they touched on many of the themes of war, alienation, and consumption that have remained central to Longo’s practice. The Combines were followed in 1990 by Black Flags, a series of cast bronze American Flags...
