Daniel Authouart (1943) - Private investigation

Daniel Authouart – "Private Investigation" – Signed & Numbered Lithograph (94/175)
Offered here is an original lithograph titled "Private Investigation" by French pop artist Daniel Authouart (b. 1943), on BFK Rives paper.
This piece is from a limited edition of 175 prints and is hand-signed and numbered in pencil by the artist (94/175), with the title also inscribed in pencil in the lower margin.
The composition is a striking, comic-book-inspired urban scene: a film-noir style detective in the foreground, set against a bustling 1950s American diner with neon signage, vintage cars, and pop-culture references — a hallmark of Authouart's distinctive graphic style, which blends elements of pop art and narrative illustration.
Daniel Authouart is known for his vivid, cinematic compositions that evoke American pop culture, jazz, and detective-story aesthetics, and his prints are held in private collections internationally.
A great addition for collectors of pop art, illustrative prints, or Americana-themed artwork.
