David Hockney’s Red Celia, a portrait of designer Celia Birtwell, for which Hockney looked to Picasso and Matisse for inspiration, is among the highlights, as is Gerhard Richter’s screenprint Eis 2, based on his same-titled painting, an example of the influential artist’s work in abstraction.
The arc of Roy Lichtenstein’s career is expressed through the inclusion of two very early works, The Cattle Rustler, a color woodcut from 1953, and Storming the Castle, and ink and wash from the 1950s, before the artist became interested in Pop Art, and his iconic Whaam! diptych and As I Opened Fire triptych. Helen Frankenthaler’s Flotilla captures her signature Abstract Expressionist style in screenprint, and an early lithograph by Chinese-French artist Zao Wou-Ki illustrates the artist’s experimental and innovative lithographic technique. A collection of works by Dorothy Dehner, a foremost American abstract artist whose primary focus was sculpture, will be offered, alongside works by Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Alex Katz and Andy Warhol, among others.
