Roy Lichtenstein 🇺🇸 Pop Art • Whaam • Print For Sale

[Deleted]

I have an online receipt for a book I bought, which was only £20. The receipt is dated 2 August 2010. I keep being told it's a supply issue and that there have been issues with their post and packaging.

I'm still waiting..............................

I don't believe he sold the Pax britannica for 20 gbp! Why selling the Pax at this price when he sells a James Cauty for 20 000 gbp!

That particular £20k piece went down to £4k the other week.

never said you were lying but that looks very much like a nice piece of bait to hang out there

[discoduster]

I saw that Woodstock poster for £30, went to buy and it shot up to £150! Wtf!

At least I managed to grab that Pulp Fiction poster for a tenner which will be nice if it's an original.

[jonnyx]

that beat the cataloguer stuff is desperate though isn't it. like a box of tat at a terrible car boot sale.

Just a quick word to tell you that Laurence at Amuti 23 finally refunds me before Christmas!

[Amuti 23]

Hello people. Wow I am really getting a slagging here.... although I like the skattyy part. Look my email system has been down and my bussines also nearyl went down the bog. So a bit of a rough time but all in order now. If for any reason you have anything unresolved and need to contact me [e-mail] is my direct email.

Thanks and hope to see you all soon.

Basically my question is:

Is there something like Sunday B. Morning for Lichtenstein ?

Cheers, mace

[Brushstrokes 75]

Nop with Lichtenstein. There's only the real deal!

[als33]

I haven't seen them in person, so I can't speak to the quality, but the "Whaam" and "As I Opened Fire" prints could fit the bill for what you're looking for. They were published by the Tate and Stedlijk Museums, respectively, in large, essentially open editions starting in the 60s and are pretty easily available.

[rinaceirde]

I think the first of these two fits the bill.Hope it helps!

The lithograph of "Whaam" was released in 9 editions of between 1450 and 4000 (unnumbered) between 1967 and 1988, a small number of them were signed.
See here.
Unsigned, I think they go for £1000+ for a set in good condition. Also not to be confused with the open edition poster of Whaam currently available from the Tate.

Many thanks for the info, guys !

[legalalien]

Do you think there is any chance this is real?

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180660985403&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Probably not right...

[wizzy]

Could be Richard Wright (Wright20) flogging it but its not on his site so ignore that, hes prob not the seller anyhow, both Chicago though?, so basically i dont know. Email him to ask if its him?.


edit. Have asked Richard, its nothing to do with him.

[ricobenfico]

Very very doubtful, bordering on an outright NO. IMO

Check the seller's completed listing for an original drawing from Frida Kahlo, sold for £134.50.......hmmmmm, me no thinkso......

[rperry]

Just to start with the basics: the signature is well off... Look at an authentic below. Secondly never trust drawing on ebay, 99% fake that are supposedly by blue chip artists. For real ones expect it to be unaffordable for most of us mere mortals

[Pattycakes]

it's not even close to lichtenstein,

[danielalaei]

not real, trust me. I started off collecting R.L stuff before I got into Urban art and i know my pieces and this is not legit.

[dodomank01]

If its too good to be true it normally is!,,,

[legalalien]

Ebay should delist stuff like this - they delist fake handbags, stuff like this shouldn't slip through the net - someone is going to get ripped off.

[wizzy]

Might buy it anyway, seen worse for more money.

[Brushstrokes 75]

Agreed with all that has been said.

However disagree with 2 things, presenting one signature has being the only one legit when it's not true. As many other artists, Lichtenstein signature has been different over the years (agree as well that the one in the ad as nothing close to the original one). But I would like to make this point clearer.

Lichtenstein has mostly signed "rf Lichtenstein" and "rfl".

Here is an example with original drawings for both signatures :





Also this saying about things going to good to be true is more like a buyer beware than a fundamental truth.... Sometimes it's just true even if it's too good... I've picked up an £8K print on ebay for £500.. probably thanks to a lot of people thinking that it was too good to be true!

[rperry]

To be clear, I said the signature on the fake was clearly wrong. Nowhere did I say he only had one signature or that there was only one "legit" signature. I just added a pic of a known sig to clarify my point.

[.dappy]

@rperry - I will agree that there a lot of people on this forum that are ready to jump down people's throats. I have seen it .... just like a faile dog . And there are other people to take the bait. I do like a bit of banter myself. It all makes me smile . Even before opening this thread I thought hhmmm it would be good to hear from Brushstrokes on this one .


I like Mr Lich a lot and one day will own an original (honest gov!)
