Paper plates (ten works)
1969
This ten work series from 1969 applies fine art techniques to utilitarian paper plates as a substrate. Lichtenstein screens printed colors directly onto the functional objects, blurring the line between art and everyday items. The works playfully subvert the hierarchy between high art and commercial materials. This approach aligns with conceptual art movements of the period while maintaining Lichtenstein's pop sensibility.
