Along with Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein created Pop Art, and his works can fetch more than $150 million. But the comic artists whose work was "appropriated" by Lichtenstein view him as a plagiarist. Was he a great artist, a thief, or both?
Special project
Art&Artists
The new film program AMFEST ART&ARTISTS includes documentaries about artists who have changed the cultural landscape over the past 150 years. These are films about star creators – and about people who have pushed the boundaries of the familiar. Among the heroes of the project are Dadaist Marcel Duchamp, whose idea of the ready-made took over the world, Roy Lichtenstein with his comic paintings, the Wyeth dynasty and many others.
