Diane Waldman - Roy Lichtenstein - 1971

Monograph of the 1971 first, original edition on Roy Lichtenstein, edited by Diane Waldman and published by Gabriele Mazzotta Editore.
Diane Waldman was a noted curator at the Guggenheim Museum who wrote extensively on Lichtenstein, curating several monographs and retrospective catalogues on the artist. This specific Italian edition from Mazzotta is tied to the critical publications and art catalogues of the 1970s that explored Lichtenstein's essential work in Pop Art.
Although published in Italy by Mazzotta, this edition is notable because it presents the text in English. It is identical to contemporary international editions from publishers such as Harry N. Abrams (United States) and Thames & Hudson (United Kingdom). The volume is a large-format monograph (about 31x31 cm), clothbound, and contains 250 pages and a rich illustrative apparatus of 183 plates in both color and black and white.
A volume that has been out of print for decades, rare.
