Although associated with Pop Art, Richard Lindner possesses an unclassifiable personal style. German by birth, Lindner fled the Nazis in 1933 and settled in France and the USA, eventually obtaining American citizenship.

In Marily Was Here, he masterfully interprets the broken idol as an erotic, mechanical toy, transformed into a spectacle and advertising showcase, either with the minimalist, radiographic strokes of a soulless figure (in the first 13 lithographs), or with the fury in exciting color that consummates the visual "violation" of the Hollywood idol (in the last 4 pieces).

Original price: 5500 euros. Our copy is mint. Unsealed and opened to take the photographs included in the lot.
