The Den, from Interior Series

Unlike with most print series, the prints of the Interior Series preceded, rather than followed, the paintings of similar subjects. Preliminary discussions about the prints began in the fall of 1989. Lichtenstein created eight small collages for the project in his New York studio, and in early 1990 he arrived at Gemini G.E.L to begin work. The Interiors are based on advertisements, most of which Lichtenstein cut from the Yellow Pages of telephone directories.
