Salute to Airmail

"Salute to Airmail" by Roy Lichtenstein is a limited-edition work, numbered 14/50, showcasing the artist's signature engagement with popular culture and commercial imagery through the lens of his iconic Pop Art style. The piece is incised with the artist's initials and belongs to an edition that was partially cast in 1986 in collaboration with the James Goodman Gallery, with an additional six artist's proofs also produced. Published by the International Collectors Society in New York, the work reflects Lichtenstein's enduring fascination with everyday Americana, transforming the familiar iconography of airmail correspondence into a bold and graphic artistic statement.
