Description

Bicentennial Print (1975) is Roy Lichtenstein’s vibrant contribution to the patriotic portfolio “America: The Third Century,” published in 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States. Executed in a dynamic combination of lithography and screenprint, the work exemplifies Lichtenstein’s unmistakable Pop Art vocabulary—bold colour fields, crisp contours, and graphic clarity inspired by commercial imagery.

Printed by Styria Studio and issued by APC Editions, the piece was produced in an edition of 200, with additional artist’s proofs. Each impression is signed and dated by Lichtenstein, emphasizing its status as a collectible fine-art print.

The composition reflects Lichtenstein’s playful yet reverent engagement with American symbols, reimagining patriotic iconography through the lens of Pop aesthetics. The use of Ben-Day dots, hard-edged lines, and stylized forms situates the work squarely within Lichtenstein’s most celebrated graphic achievements of the 1970s.

This framed example is ideal for collectors of Pop Art, historical commemorative editions, and Lichtenstein’s colourful screenprints.
