Roy Lichtenstein

Go for Baroque, 1993

Original Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Exhibition Poster

An original 1993 exhibition poster produced by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, for Go for Baroque, a landmark exhibition celebrating the work of legendary Pop Art pioneer Roy Lichtenstein. Presented from October 8, 1993, through January 16, 1994, the exhibition explored Lichtenstein’s lifelong fascination with the visual language of art history, reinterpreting the grandeur and ornamentation of the Baroque through his unmistakable Pop Art aesthetic.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Lichtenstein revolutionized contemporary art by transforming the imagery of comic books, advertising, and popular culture into sophisticated works of fine art. His bold compositions, vibrant primary colors, graphic black outlines, and signature Ben-Day dots challenged traditional artistic conventions and redefined the relationship between fine art and mass media.

This striking museum-issued exhibition poster features one of Lichtenstein’s dynamic compositions, masterfully blending bold color, crisp graphic linework, Ben-Day dots, and playful architectural motifs into a richly layered visual narrative. Referencing the dramatic movement and decorative complexity of the Baroque while maintaining the wit, precision, and clarity that define Pop Art, the composition is both intellectually engaging and visually captivating.

Printed on substantial heavyweight paper, the poster offers exceptional print quality with rich color saturation and remarkable clarity, faithfully capturing the energy and precision of Lichtenstein’s original artwork. Its generous scale and commanding presence make it equally suited for contemporary interiors, design-forward spaces, and curated art collections.

Original museum exhibition posters have become increasingly appreciated by collectors for their authenticity, historical significance, and enduring design appeal. Published by one of the world’s foremost museums of modern art, this piece represents an authentic connection to a significant exhibition celebrating one of the defining artists of the modern era.

Presented in mint condition, the poster has been exceptionally well preserved, retaining outstanding color, crisp detail, and excellent overall presentation.
