The following is an excerpt from the book How to Start a Roy Lichtenstein Portrait Collection by Roseann and Stephen Fishman. Roy Lichtenstein was one of the 20th century’s most important artists whose paintings are now among the most sought after in the world.

Why is there such demand for his work? What makes his art so special? What does this have to do with collecting art?

How does one go about starting a collection of art? The first chapter of our book addresses these questions and more.

If you’re interested in knowing more about this as well as discovering what you need to know in order to start your own collection, read on!

So, you want to start a Roy Lichtenstein Portrait Collection?

I get lots of emails asking me how to start one, so I thought I’d post this how-to guide.

I’ve been collecting art since the 1980’s and have sold and traded many of my pieces. I now own a few original pieces by Mr. Lichtenstein himself, but my favorite pieces are prints. And the best part about collecting prints is that you don’t have to break the bank to get started!

You can buy prints that are not only beautiful works of art, but also affordable!

For example, if you wanted to collect the works from the “Look Mickey” series, you can get a print for as little as $20. That’s less than what you would pay for a movie ticket!

If you wanted to collect the “Blam” series (as I call them), it would cost about $50 for a small print, $250 for a medium print, and $500 for a large print. Again, that’s no more than what you would pay for two or three tickets at the movies!

So where do you begin? Start with something small that is not too expensive and work your way up…you’ll be glad you

How to Start a Roy Lichtenstein Portrait Collection.

Let’s start with the absolute basics. The first thing you need is some cash. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but you’re going to want at least $500-$1000. A thousand dollars will get you one original Roy Lichtenstein, which is more than enough for a starter collection. If you have less than that, don’t worry about it just yet, set aside your money and try to scrape up as much as possible. You can always start with reproductions if necessary.

If you’re starting from scratch, don’t buy any art supplies until you’ve got at least $500 in hand. Wait until then before buying a brush or anything else.  Once you’ve got the money though, go ahead and treat yourself to whatever art supplies you might want or need (but not before).

Next, search the internet for “roy lichtenstein prints” or “roy lichtenstein posters” or something like that. This will take you to an enormous number of websites where people are selling art by Roy Lichtenstein, sometimes originals and often common reproductions. Browse around these sites and sort through the different items available until you find something that interests you on either an

The art of Roy Lichtenstein is one of the most collected and sought after in the world. His work is not only found in museums, but also in private collections all over the world.

Tapping into the nostalgia of comic books, Roy Lichtenstein’s paintings bring to life familiar characters like Popeye and Superman in a totally new manner that has become instantly recognizable to many.

Roy Lichtenstein’s style relies heavily on the use of dots and lines to create a very unique look that was new at the time he began creating his art. Using famous images from popular culture, like Pop Art, Roy Lichtenstein produced several stunning works that have now become part of modern art history.

Roy Lichtenstein, born 23 September 1923 in New York City, is an American pop artist. He was the first living artist to have a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Although he is most famous for his large-scale paintings, Lichtenstein began as a sculptor and produced several pieces of jewelry and abstract cast-iron sculptures in the mid-late 1960s. His work became more Pop-oriented by the end of the 1960s and early 1970s, when he produced paintings based on images from advertisements and magazine cutouts that were part of his day-to-day life.

Although there are few records of Lichtenstein’s artistic production before 1964, there are some works from this period that foreshadow his interest in using mechanical means to produce art. An early example is Drowning Girl (1961), which depicts a girl with water pouring from her open mouth, her eyes bulging as she is apparently drowning. The use of a mechanical reproduction such as a photograph or reproduction is characteristic of much of Lichtenstein’s later work; he once said that “I am basically interested in taking mechanical things and making them human.”

Roy Lichtenstein is one of the most popular artists today. He was born in 1923 in New York, but spent his childhood and formative years in the Midwest. His father was a very conservative businessman and did not want his son to pursue art as a career. He decided to study law at Ohio State University, but instead became enamoured with modern art and began painting himself.

Towards the end of his college years, he began studying painting in earnest under the guidance of Bendiner, who taught him how to mix colors and paint realistically. The two were also introduced to Abstract Expressionism, a new style of art that had emerged largely in New York City during World War II. This new style was focused on expression rather than representation and Lichtenstein became very interested in learning more about it. He then left Ohio State University without completing his degree and moved to New York City where he enrolled at Columbia University’s School of General Studies. There, he took courses on music theory with Arnold Schoenberg and Franz Waxman while continuing to learn about art from Bendiner and William Baziotes, who were teaching at the Art Students League at night.

Towards the middle of 1949, Bendiner helped him secure a job working in the mailroom

Two-dimensional art is a beautiful thing to collect. Most art collectors have a taste for paintings, which are the most common type of fine art. But there are many other types of fine art, including sculptures and drawings. Some people prefer photography to painting.
