*APC ART is pleased to present an exceptional and highly sought-after work by Roy Lichtenstein, titled “Shipboard Girl.”*

Executed as a *lithograph in colors on wove paper*, this work is *hand signed by the artist in graphite pencil* at the bottom right. Measuring *27” x 20.1” unframed* and *32” x 25.1” framed*, the piece is presented *framed to museum standard* and is ready to be immediately enjoyed or placed into a serious collection.

Roy Lichtenstein is universally regarded as one of the *most important and influential artists of the 20th century* and a founding figure of the *Pop Art movement*. Alongside contemporaries such as *Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, and James Rosenquist*, Lichtenstein fundamentally reshaped the visual language of contemporary art. His bold use of Ben-Day dots, heavy outlines, cropped compositions, and references to mass media transformed everyday imagery into high art and permanently altered the relationship between fine art and popular culture.

The *“Shipboard Girl”* imagery stands among Lichtenstein’s most iconic and emotionally resonant subjects. Featuring a dramatic close-up of a female figure rendered in his unmistakable graphic style, the work exemplifies all of the artist’s signature motifs: the meticulous Ben-Day dot patterning, the cinematic framing, the tension-filled narrative moment, and the striking balance of primary colors and negative space. The subject’s expression—poised between vulnerability and strength—captures the emotional immediacy that has made Lichtenstein’s female protagonists some of the most recognizable images in modern art history.

This example is *one of the strongest “Shipboard Girl” works we have encountered in many years*. Importantly, the piece has *never been restored*, a rarity for works of this age and significance. Supporting documentation confirming its untouched condition will be provided. The work benefits from *rock-solid provenance* and has been carefully preserved, underscoring its desirability from both a connoisseurship and investment standpoint.

Lichtenstein’s works are held in the world’s most prestigious institutional collections, including *The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Modern, The Art Institute of Chicago, Centre Pompidou*, and countless others. His collector base spans major museums, blue-chip private collectors, and significant foundations worldwide. Demand for high-quality, signed Lichtenstein prints remains consistently strong, with top examples continuing to perform exceptionally well on the secondary market.

The work is *in excellent condition*, professionally framed to museum standards, and *will ship immediately from the USA*. 
*Pre-purchase inspection and in-person pickup are available in NYC by appointment only.*
