For Love from11 Pop Artists, Volume III
James Rosenquist
American, 1933–2017
1965, published 1966
A screenprint in which James Rosenquist stitches together cropped, advertising-like fragments—disembodied hands, fish, and mechanical parts—into a jarring collage that translates billboard scale and commercial imagery into fine art.
Bright, flat fields of turquoise, lemon yellow, and coral collide in halftone dots and translucent overlays while oversized, floating hands and fish read like cinematic cutaways, producing a disorienting, collage-like impact.
Produced during the height of Pop art, this print exemplifies Rosenquist’s strategy of appropriating and reassembling mass-media graphics to collapse advertising, montage, and billboard scale into the vocabulary of fine-art printmaking.
