Lichtenstein was no fan, says widow," The Guardian, London, February 19, 2013, p. 15 (another example illustrated) Video Woman in the Round: The Unparalleled Dimensionality of Lichtenstein's Late Bust "'Woman: Sunlight Moonlight' has literally jumped off of the late nude canvases that came to characterize the artists career, and into our space, where we can walk around it and really get the sense of the duality that's embodied in this work." Head of Evening Sale Kate Bryan on Roy Lichtenstein's incredible bust, 'Woman: Sunlight Moonlight', 1996, now on view at 450 Park Avenue in advance of our 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale. Catalogue Essay Roy Lichtenstein’s striking sculpture, Woman: Sunlight, Moonlight, represents the triumphal return of the female figure in the revered Pop artist's late career. Executed in 1996 - just one year prior to the artist’s unexpected death – this work was created during the pinnacle of Lichtenstein’s career and irrefutably positions itself within the pantheon of his greatest works. Woman: Sunlight, Moonlight, re-processes the art historical trope of the bust through the lens of Lichtenstein’s signature Pop Art idiom. The work comes in full circle with Head with Blue Shadow, 1965 (Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas), Woman: Sunlight, Moonlight presents a complex portrait of a melancholic heroine in a three-quarter perspective. Standing more than 3 feet tall, the larger than life bust possesses a powerful presence that enchants with its formal complexity. In keeping with Lichtenstein’s style, Woman: Sunlight, Moonlight features black graphic outlines on patinated bronzed, coupled with being partially painted
