Note:
Created in collaboration with the renowned German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal, these artistic plates showcase Lichtenstein's ability to adapt his distinctive visual language to a different medium. This plate typically features his signature style use of Ben-Day dots, a printing technique commonly employed in comic books. However, instead of incorporating his familiar comic strip motifs, Lichtenstein took a more abstract approach for this design.
These plates, intended for use as decorative pieces or even for dining, challenged the conventional notion of art as something solely for display in galleries and museums. Lichtenstein's collaboration with Rosenthal expanded the reach of his art, allowing it to enter the realm of everyday life. Today, Lichtenstein's "Künstlerplatzteller" plates are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts alike. They embody the artist's ability to innovate and experiment with different mediums while retaining his unique artistic voice. These abstract plates serve as a testament to Lichtenstein's versatility and his ongoing exploration of artistic expression beyond the boundaries of his iconic pop art style.
