Various Other Works
This section documents works that are not included in the Roy Lichtenstein Catalogue Raisonné. They are mostly artworks the artist abandoned or destroyed, works that have been classified as autographs, authorized replica, or projects originating with the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein (ERL). Also listed are test pieces created by others to help with the fabrication process of Lichtenstein's Barcelona Head sculpture.
An unauthorized Lichtenstein tapestry version made outside of an authorized edition is included here to document the history of its making.
Ongoing research may lead to further entries in the future.
Lichtenstein's 1967 design for a paper cup (RLCR 1472) was not realized at the time. In 2013, the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein, in collaboration with Barneys New York and Art Production Fund, produced the cups in paper in a limited edition (along with a reprint of the artist's Paper Plate (RLCR 1748), commercially printed in 1969). Another edition of the cups was made in glass.
Fabricated in March 2003 by the artist's studio assistant James dePasquale for exhibition planning purposes on the occasion of the rooftop exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2003 New York MMA). Made as a 1' = 1" maquette after RLCR 4492, Brushstrokes (Maquette), but with colors matching the related monumental sculpture RLCR 4493. A project of the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein.
Fabricator: Amaral Custom Fabrications, Inc., Seekonk, Mass.
A posthumous reduction in scale of RLCR 4658, Brushstroke, to accommodate the sculpture's location in the roof garden of the artist's studio on 745 Washington Street, New York. A project of the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein.

Following the precedent of the artist casting Petit coup de pinceau (RLCR 3728) from Coup de pinceau (Maquette) (RLCR 3700) in 1988, the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein decided in 2003 to fabricate eight editions of three cast bronzes each after wooden maquettes by the artist (seven Brushstroke maquettes and one House maquette).
The casts in this edition are marked 1996 per the related maquette's creation date on file at the time. Further research has shown that the maquette was completed in 1997.

Project and installation: Estate of Roy Lichtenstein and Forest City Ratner Companies (Mariano Bros. Inc.)
This is one of five elements designed by the artist for a never realized scatter piece, the 1983–84 commission for the new Stuart Collection at the La Jolla Campus of UCSD (posthumously fabricated as RLCR 3298, Five Brushstrokes).
The mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg, asked if a large brushstroke sculpture could be placed on loan in City Hall Academy, the former Tweed Courthouse. The Estate of Roy Lichtenstein decided to fabricate the tallest, Element E, of Five Brushstrokes, scaled to best judgement to fit the 85-feet high rotunda. The artist had intended the work to be of steel, but for this piece fiberglass was chosen to allow for easier installation. The loan contract was signed on October 23, 2003. The work was installed in situ on November 16, 2003 and has remained there.
