About the Item
Ben Martin was TIME Magazine’s first New York Bureau staff photographer covering wars, fashion, politics, arts, business, and sports for TIME, Life, Fortune, People, and Sports Illustrated for thirty-three years. He immortalized evocative images that defined the 1960’s.
In this series of legendary photoshoots, Martin captured the complexity of each artist's personality, art, and surroundings. This black & white photograph was taken in 1962 and is a rare capture of Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) posing with his works in his studio just as his career was taking off. He had been teaching at Rutgers University in New Jersey where his interest in Proto-pop imagery was ignited. In 1961, he started incorporating cartoon images and advertising imagery in his works. Lichtenstein had his first one-man show at a New York gallery in 1962 where the entire collection was acquired by influential collectors before the show even opened.
In 1964, Lichtenstein became the first American to exhibit at the Tate Gallery, London. In 1967, his first museum retrospective exhibition was held at the Pasadena Art Museum in California. The same year, his first solo exhibition in Europe was held at museums in Amsterdam, London, Bern, and Hannover. Lichtenstein had his first retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in 1969.
The size of the photograph is 19.25 inches high by 15.25 inches wide. This photograph is framed in a black wooden frame measuring 25.5 inches high and 21.5 inches wide. The size and price include the frame. It is numbered 1/50 on the back. It is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by Kathryn Leigh Scott representing Ben Martin's Photographs is included.
Ben Martin attended Ohio University, where he majored in journalism and photography, working his way through college cooking nights as a short-order “White Castle” hamburger chef, and as a stringer-photographer for UPI Newspictures. He was married to actress Kathryn Leigh Scott (1971-1990), with whom he co-founded Pomegranate Press, a book publishing company. The two remained close friends and business partners until his death on February 10, 2017, at age 86.
Ben Martin's photographs have been exhibited in galleries throughout the US.
