First edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e18.1 × 25.7 cm, 16 pp. Offset-printed wrappers with Benday-dot cover design in blue and black, artist name set diagonally in bold serif type.

Text in French, including a translation of Gene Swenson’s interview “What is Pop Art?”, first published in \u003cem\u003eARTnews\u003c\/em\u003e, November 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exhibition focused on landscape works — seascape, sunrise, horizon, cloud. Subjects that allowed Lichtenstein to move the comic-strip and commercial-print vocabulary into a more classical genre. The Benday dot is no longer only a quotation from mass reproduction. It becomes atmosphere, weather, surface, and system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis copy has a history. A pronounced vertical crease runs through the full publication: not a publishing fold but a use fold. The catalogue was reduced for carrying — placed into a jacket or back pocket, taken somewhere. The rear wrapper carries a handwritten note in ink, reading approximately:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[Picallce?] Michel \/ chez Madame Savignat \/ 274 Rue St Honoré \/ Paris Ier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first word remains partially illegible. The note appears to record a Paris address or temporary lodging: “at Madame Savignat’s,” 274 rue Saint-Honoré, Paris 1er. Sonnabend’s gallery appears inside as institution. The rear inscription supplies another address. Between the two, the object moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis copy was not only retained. It was folded, carried, and marked.
