This beautiful book chronicles the creation of the original 1983 Greene Street Mural by Roy Lichtenstein at Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, as well as Gagosian Gallery's recent 2015 iteration, which introduced a new generation of viewers to this magnificent project. In Greene Street Mural , Roy Lichtenstein layered pervasive images from his pop lexicon--marble-patterned composition notebooks, cartoonish brushstrokes, and Swiss cheese--with motifs, including the Neo-Geo tropes of his Perfect/Imperfect paintings; faux woodblock shading patterns; and office items, including filing cabinets, envelopes, and folding chairs. Using stunning color photographs, interviews, and essays, this new book presents Lichtenstein's almost 100-foot-long mural, which epitomized the artist's ability to absorb anything and everything that caught his eye into his constantly evolving artistic idiom.

"In December 1983, Roy Lichtenstein created Greene Street Mural, an unprecedented site-specific, temporary wall painting in Leo Castelli Gallery at 142 Greene Street in New York. A companion exhibition of paintings and sculptures was held in Leo Castelli Gallery at 420 West Broadway. In September 2015, in collaboration with the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, a full-scale painting replica of the original mural was produced, spanning the length of Gagosian Gallery, 555 West 24th Street. Alongside the mural were paintings and sculptures that are referenced within the composition of the retrospective mural. Selected works contemporaneous to the period--whch were included in the 1983 Leo Castelli Gallery show at 420 West Broadway--were also part of this exhibition."--Page 5.
