Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997). "Stepping Out [small version]". Color lithograph. c1987. Signed in pencil, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. Wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression. Very good condition. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Doering/Von der Osten 33. Overall size: 22 1/2 x 16 1/4 in. (571 x 413 mm). Image size: 17 1/8 x 14 in. (435 x 356 mm). Very rare in this small format. No auction records located. The medium format sold at auction at $7,138 (Millon & Associes, Paris, March 22, 2013, lot #252). This image was used for three posters, the large and medium versions being printed for the Castelli exhibition, the smaller for the Metropolitan Museum, the owner of the painting (the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, permanently and exclusively devoted to 20th-century art, was inaugurated in 1987). Doering/Von der Osten states that "the poster was also printed in smaller format" by which he means the medium version, identical to the large version but smaller. In the left-hand section of the poster Lichtenstein interprets a figure by Fernand Leger. Image copyright © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. [28313-4-2400]
