Two original colored pencil sketches on paper laid to matt board, together with two smaller matt board sketches, untitled (sunsets), attributed to Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997). One initialed, one signed and annotated. Probably working studies. Approximate dimensions of panel: 5 x 12 inches. The sketches are in very good condition; the panel is old and somewhat brittle although in tact. Unframed.

Provenance: James Tigerman (owner James Tigerman Gallery)
Acquired from the above by the consignor's father

AUTHENTICATION AND PROVENANCE OF ATTRIBUTED LOTS (and lots described as "in the manner of"): This lot is being offered as "attributed to" (or in the manner of) the named artist. We have no specific documentation to prove or disprove its authenticity, nor have we submitted it to any expert or committee of experts for review or forensic examination. Authentication is not an exact science. Contrary opinions may exist; our opinion is not based on any specific expertise. The signature, style, and composition of the work seem absolutely correct and are similar to pieces of known authenticity and provenance which we have seen or sold, although neither we nor the consignor can guaranty that the present lot is wholly or partly by the ascribed artist. REGARDING PROVENANCE, we must rely to an extent on information provided to us by the consignor, family records or documents, estate papers, and/or other third parties. We provide whatever information we have available. If you have questions about a lot's provenance, please ask them prior to bidding. Unless stated otherwise, no documents, letters, or additional information concerning provenance will accompany the lot. We do not obtain written affidavits from consignors regarding provenance, thus bidders should be aware that Preston Hall Gallery is not always able to verify all facts regarding a lot's provenance. If you require absolute certainty regarding a lot's attribution or history of ownership and if the description of the lot in question does not address these issues to your satisfaction, WE STRONGLY URGE YOU NOT TO BID ON THE LOT.
