Clippings
The catalogue raisonné team is currently reviewing this group of source materials and will be adding and expanding entries.
Clippings in the RLF Archives have been inventoried with a source (SRC) number.
Reference Material
Lichtenstein gathered, created and used various types of reference materials. They comprise cartoon and magazine clippings—stored loose or pasted into notebooks—and photographs the artist took on walks through New York City or as part of his studio practice. Most of this material is still held by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation Archives, will soon be digitized, and has been gifted to the Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
The catalogue raisonné team has started a review of the large number of these materials and is in the process of adding them to this website. For example, there are between hundreds and thousands of comic, magazine, newspaper and book clipping references.
