Note du spécialiste

Unlike with most prints series, the prints of the Interior Series preceded, rather than followed, the paintings of similar subjects. Preliminary discussions about the prints began in the fall of 1989. Lichtenstein created eight small collages for the project in his New York studio, and in early 1990 he arrived at Gemini G.E.L to begin work.
The Interiors are based on advertisements, most of which Lichtenstein cut from the Yellow Pages of telephone directories. He enlarged the advertisements using an opaque projector, traced them, and then, after turning the tracing paper over, extensively reworked the images. Once a composition had been reworked to his satisfaction, he traced the drawing onto museum board, at which point the collage elements were added.
