His celebrated Men in the City series — monumental charcoal drawings of suited figures in states of convulsive, ambiguous movement — established him as one of the most original and cinematically powerful image-makers of his generation, and his subsequent engagement across drawing, painting, sculpture, film, and printmaking has produced a body of work of extraordinary range, formal ambition, and lasting cultural resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePurple Kiss brings Longo's characteristic visual intensity, chromatic sophistication, and formal ambition to the intimate and technically demanding register of the colour lithograph — a work of striking verticality at 927 × 454 mm, its elongated format giving the composition a quality of concentrated, almost cinematic presence entirely consistent with Longo's broader engagement with scale, drama, and the power of the image. Printed by Derriere L'Etoile Studios — the celebrated New York print workshop responsible for some of the most significant fine art lithographic productions of the late twentieth century — on Arches paper, the impression achieves a surface quality and chromatic richness of exceptional distinction. Published by the artist himself, the work carries the direct authority and personal investment of Longo's own production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1248\" data-start=\"1224\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1251\" data-start=\"1248\"\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr data-end=\"1286\" data-start=\"1283\"\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr data-end=\"1328\" data-start=\"1325\"\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Collection robert longo\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/robert-longo-master-of-contemporary-drawing-and-photorealism\"\u003e➡️ See all available works by Robert Longo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1016\" data-start=\"1013\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"255\" data-start=\"208\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"253\" data-start=\"211\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original work by Robert Longo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an authentic lithograph in colours on Arches paper, signed and dated in pencil and numbered \"PK I\" from the edition of 20, printed by Derriere L'Etoile Studios and published by the artist, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 20 — one of the most tightly controlled edition sizes in Longo's printed output, signed and numbered by the artist in pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho printed the work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDerriere L'Etoile Studios, New York — the celebrated print workshop responsible for some of the most significant fine art lithographic productions of the late twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat paper was used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArches paper — one of the most prestigious supports in fine art lithography, prized for its exceptional surface quality and archival stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSheet: 927 × 454 mm (36 1\/2 × 17 7\/8 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the condition?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good condition.
