Provenance: a private San Francisco Estate containing numerous works by the artist.
Roy Lichtenstein first studied under Reginald Marsh at the Art Students League of New York and subsequently with Hoyt Sherman at the College of the Arts at Ohio State University. Lichtenstein served in the U.S. Army from 1943-46, after which he resumed his studies, obtaining his MFA in 1949. In 1951, the Carlebach Gallery, New York, organized a solo exhibition of his semi-abstract paintings of the Old West. Shortly thereafter, Lichtenstein moved to Cleveland, where he continued painting while working as an engineering draftsman to support his growing family.
In 1957, he obtained a teaching position at the State University of New York, Oswego which he held until 1960. By then, he had begun to integrate loosely-drawn cartoon characters into what were becoming increasingly abstract canvases. From 1960-63, Lichtenstein lived in New Jersey and taught at Rutgers University. Here, he mingled with artists such as Jim Dine, Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, Lucas Samaras, George Segal, and Robert Whitman, all of whom were experimenting with different kinds of art based on the artefacts of everyday life. In 1961, Lichtenstein began to create paintings consisting exclusively of comic-strip figures, introduced his signature Benday-dot grounds, commercial lettering, and text-balloons; he also began to incorporate cropped advertisements. In 1964, he began to depict a wide variety of stylized landscapes, consumer-product packaging, adaptations of paintings by famous artists, geometric elements from Art Deco design (in the Modern series), parodies of the Abstract Expressionists’ style (in the Brushstrokes series), and explosions. In all these choices, he emphasized the contradictions of representing three-dimensional elements on a flat surface.
In the early 1970s, Lichtenstein explored these themes further with his abstract Mirrors and Entablatures series. From 1974 through the 1980s, he probed another long-standing issue: the concept of artistic style. All his series of works played with the characteristics of well-known 20th-century art movements. Lichtenstein continued to question the role of style in consumer culture in his 1990s series Interiors, which included images of his own works as decorative elements. In his attempt to fully grasp and expose how the forms, materials, and methods of production have shaped the images of Western society, the artist also worked in a variety of other mediums including polychromatic ceramic, aluminum, brass, and serigraphs.
From 1962, the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York held regular exhibitions of Lichtenstein's work. He was also invited to participate in the 1966 Venice Biennale and was honored with numerous solo exhibitions including at the Pasadena Art Museum (1967) and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1968) among others. Three years before his death, the artist was also the subject of a major retrospective at the Guggenheim in 1994.

Exclusive Invitation Card to Andy Warhol Memorial Lunch from Estate of Tim Hunt
By Andy Warhol
Located in New York, NY
SUPER RARE!
Invitation Card to private Andy Warhol Memorial Lunch, from the Estate of Tim Hunt, 1987
Offset lithograph card
6 1/2 × 3 3/5 inches
Unframed
This exclusive invitation to the private memorial lunch for Andy Warhol is an historic collectors item. Few people in the world own this card other than those who were invited to the event and/or their heirs, though it has occasionally appeared at public auction now that another generation has passed. This offset lithograph invitation card to Andy Warhol's Memorial Lunch at the Diamond Horseshoe in the Paramount Hotel bears an image of Andy Warhol's iconic 1967 Marilyn on one side, and on the other side is an announcement that reads as follows:
ANDY WARHOL
A Memorial Lunch
Wednesday, April 1, 1987
The Diamond Horseshoe
235 West 46th Street
New York City
Special thanks to:
Carillon Importers
Caffe Condotti
Glorious Food
All leftover food and flowers will be donated to the homeless program at Church of the Heavenly Rest.
Marilyn - Andy Warhol 1967
The provenance of this card is impressive as it comes from the estate of Warhol Foundation curator and sales agent Tim Hunt, who was married to bestselling author Tama Janowitz, author of "Slaves of New York". Tama would describe how she met Tim Hunt as follows: "Andy Warhol died in 1987. In the long hot summer after, I bought a tiny basement apartment on West 70th Street over by West End Ave. That’s when I met Tim Hunt. A model for Werther’s Caramel and Ralph Lauren who’d gone to Oxford and had a brother who was a famous race car driver, he’d been with Christie’s a few years and had come over from England to work on the Warhol estate. He would later become my husband. Andy would have loved Tim. But the two had never met..."
The event in this invitation is the more exclusive Memorial Lunch on April 1st 1987, held prior to Warhol's Memorial Mass at St. John the Divine, later that evening, the latter of which was attended by thousands of people. The press referred to this earlier event as a "Special Memorial Lunch Party" - using the vernacular of the day, as everything in the mid to late 1980s seemed like a party - until it was not. Interestingly, no start time, or even time range, is mentioned on this invitation - something that is rarely if ever missing from such an item; further evidence that it wasn't enough just to get this card; one had to already be in the know to be able to attend. Either that, or the lunch party was going on all day - so invitees could show up whenever they wanted. Or, alternatively, it was simply an accidental omission with no hidden message. And another side note: one of the sponsors of this Memorial luncheon, Carillon Importers, is the holding company or importer for Absolut Vodka, which commissioned Andy Warhol to create a series of advertising ads that would comprise one of the most successful, award-winning advertising campaigns of the era - and the most successful of the company's history. Who attended this event? Probably everybody who was anybody in the nexis of art, celebrity, high fashion and big business. Getty images features photographs by celebrity paparazzo Ron Galella of some of Warhol pals entering or leaving the Diamond Horseshoe for this exclusive event including Dianne Brill...
