London: Hansom Books, January 1968. Edited by Mario Amaya. Approx. 27.5 × 21 cm. Staple-bound periodical; offset-printed illustrated wrappers; colour cover; black-and-white and colour illustrations throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover carries Roy Lichtenstein’s \u003cem\u003eModern Painting with Ionic Column\u003c\/em\u003e, 1967: Ben-Day dots, a yellow diagonal beam, a classical column, red and black geometric forms on a black ground. The image belongs to Lichtenstein’s ‘Modern Paintings’ series, in which Pop becomes a machine for reprocessing Cubism, Art Deco, classical architecture, and museum painting. This issue appears at a precise moment: his 1967 Stedelijk Museum exhibition was travelling to Tate Gallery, London, from January to February 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents include Ellen H. Johnson, “The Lichtenstein Paradox,” pp. 12–15; Clive Barker by Christopher Finch; George Segal by Robert Pincus-Witten. The back cover carries a full-page advertisement for Phillip King at Galerie Yvon Lambert, Paris, Janvier 68 — a large photographic reproduction of King’s geometric steel sculpture, triangular and elliptical forms casting a strong diagonal shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe painting has already moved: canvas to magazine cover, exhibition to article, artist to editorial subject, image to commodity. Lichtenstein appears here not as a painting on a wall but as a reproduced surface inside a London publishing system — carried alongside Barker, Segal, Philip King, Yvon Lambert, criticism, advertising, and price. Pop painting, criticism, gallery advertising, and international circulation meet on one printed support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe object records a transfer of visibility. It does not simply document Pop Art; it formats Pop Art for circulation. The rubbed black cover and softened edges are part of that record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition. Rubbing and handling wear to covers, visible edge and corner wear, light creasing, spine wear, and age toning consistent with a handled 1960s art periodical. Interior presents well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hansom Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53875614384466,"sku":"LICHTENSTEIN-ARTANDARTISTS-CAT-1968","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Art_and_Artists_January_1968._Roy_Litchenstein._1968.jpg?v=1782760203","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/roy-lichtenstein-art-and-artists-vol-ii-no-10-january-1968","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
