Roy Lichtenstein Limited Edition Collection Launching at Barneys

Roy Lichtenstein Beach Bag, Kiss IV

Artist Roy Lichtenstein is a cult-favorite.   His art has found a new audience in recent years, and his colorful comic book like images are more popular than ever.   That’s why Barney’s New York has announced that they will offer a new collection of  Roy Lichtenstein accessories, including the tote  bag pictured above.  The summer-themed collection includes trays, placemats, china dishes, glasses, paper plates, paper cups, pillows, flying discs, pool floats, water bottles, and beach accessories, including bags, towels, and beach balls covered in Lichtenstein’s iconic Pop Art images of the ’60s, ’70s, and beyond.  Lichtenstein original artwork utilized for this special collaboration includes Ice Cream Soda (1962), Drawing for Kiss IV (1963), Baked Potato (1962), Bananas and Grapefruit I (1972), and much more.

The good news is that  proceeds of the new collection will benefit a good cause:  25% of all sales from the collection will benefit Art Production Fund, a non-profit founded by Yvonne Force Villareal and Doreen Remen and directed by Casey Fremont Crowe which supports public art projects. The collection will retail between $28 and $295 and will be available at the Barneys New York Madison Avenue flagship, as well as Beverly Hills, Chicago, Miami and Barneys.com.  Looks for the windows at Barneys New York to be full of the Roy Lichtenstein Limited Edition Collection soon!
