In “Glass IV,” Roy Lichtenstein extends his exploration of Pop Art into three dimensions. Created in 1977, this bronze artwork stands at 124.8 by 75.6 centimeters and is characterized by its still life genre. The sculpture currently resides in the esteemed Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork exemplifies Lichtenstein’s signature use of bold, vibrant colors and thick black outlines. Transcending the conventional flatness of his paintings, “Glass IV” presents a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and lines. The vertical structure is segmented into various colored stripes, including blue, yellow, green, black, and white, some of which feature diagonal hatching typically associated with Lichtenstein’s two-dimensional works. This piece encapsulates the essence of everyday objects, rendered in a stylized and abstract manner, characteristic of the Pop Art movement.
