The GIRL BY ROY LICHTENSTEIN, THE WATCH reproduces the work of renowned American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997). The watch face displays a printed detail of Lichtenstein's pop art piece titled "Girl" (double page headpiece, pages 118 and 119) from the 1963 publication "1¢ Life", which was published in 1964.
The lithograph composition measures 12 ¾ x 22" (32.4 x 55.9cm), with the original sheet size being 16 1/8 x 22 13/16" (41 x 58 cm). The work was published by Eberhard W. Kornfeld in Bern, Switzerland, and printed by Maurice Beaudet. The edition consists of 100 special and 2,000 regular prints.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York City holds the original work, which was gifted by the author, Walasse Ting, the editor, Sam Francis, and the publisher, E. W. Kornfeld. The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA, and related logos are Trademarks of The Museum of Modern Art. The rights to Roy Lichtenstein's artwork are owned by the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein.
The design on the matte blue case and strap of the watch is a printed reproduction of the same "Girl" artwork from the MoMA collaboration. This allows the wearer to appreciate the iconic pop art image not only on the dial but also throughout the watch's aesthetic.
In summary, the NEW GENT Watch Collection item featuring the GIRL BY ROY LICHTENSTEIN design offers a unique timepiece that pays homage to the legendary American artist's work. With its Swiss origins, international warranty, and MoMA-backed provenance, this watch provides a stylish and culturally significant accessory for art and fashion enthusiasts alike.
