Roy Lichtenstein Painting

A Roy Lichtenstein painting that looks like a large comic strip (like many of his others) sold at Christie’s in New York last fall for a record $43.2 million. And to think Ralph and I didn’t buy a painting from him in the early 1950s when he hung our drapes. Really. He was a “starving artist” and was helping out his decorator wife. But his paintings weren’t comics then. They were pictures of big gray and beige gears.
