Description: 1990 Roy Lichtenstein for Taittinger Collection Pop Art Champagne Bottle ❦ EMPTYSerigraph with six colors on blue shaped plexiglass covering a glass champagne bottleArtwork designed by American pop artist Roy Fox Lichtenstein (1923-1997)Originally contained a Brut Millésimé 1985 (60% Pinot Noir / 40% Chardonnay) from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs region of ChampagneLot includes everything photographed, all original to this 1990 bottling of the 1985 vintage Champagne (w/o the Champagne!)13.5" tall 750ml bottle In very good vintage condition ❦ rust to hang tag staple ❦ empty of its contents ❦ no box Since 1983, Taittinger has collaborated some of its greatest vintage cuvees with the work of contemporary artists. The bottle becomes both the canvas and inspiration for a special creation which eventually becomes a signed piece of artwork. Some of the artists chosen include Victor Vasarely, Arman, Andre Masson, and Marie-Elena Vieira da Silva. Lichtenstein's bottle was the fifth design in the Taittinger Collection series. He was approached about doing the design in 1986, and the bottle was introduced on October 16, 1990, in Paris, France. In the US, the Lichtenstein bottle was presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, on June 10, 1991. In his design for the Taittinger Collection, Lichentstein remained faithful to his world inspired by comic book art and transferred it into the world of paintings. The image that Lichtenstein created is a wonderful (Ben-Day dot with flat color shading) abstracted head profile with flowing hair. He sought to create a visual shock by using dots and the careful choice of a few dominant colours - Van Gogh yellow, Royal blue and British Racing green. However, he wanted to take things further. By elongating the image to the point of confusion, the facial hair, which appears below his signature and extends right up to the vine shoot, reminds us that champagne is the result of the interwoven effort of nature and human ingenuity. There are grapes, grape leaves, and vines scattered throughout the bottle as well as champagne bubbles. Each individual element is highlighted with black outlines, so that the colors are separated and therefore more intense.
