These whimsical sculptures play with color and perspective in a way that is uniquely Lichtenstein.
Produced in the late 1990s, theHouseseries consists of two freestanding and one wall sculpture.
Rendered in white, red, and yellow, the houses change dramatically depending on where the viewer stands.

The relatively flat sculpture appears fully three-dimensional when viewed at a precise angle.
This playful game of perspective was carefully cultivated by the artist, who produced numerousstudiesfor the three sculptures.
The painted aluminum piece was fabricated in 2003 after being commissioned by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation.
This is primarily because both fabrications are part of private collections.
It was last on view in 2013 when it was part of a Lichtenstein exhibition in Venice.
