Lot description - from the online catalogue*
James Rosenquist was an American artist and one of the lead proponents of the pop art movement.In junior high school, Rosenquist won a short-term scholarship to study at the Minneapolis School of Art and later studied painting at the University of Minnesota. In 1955, at the age of 21, he moved to New York City on scholarship to study at the Art Students League. Drawing from his background working in sign painting, Rosenquist's pieces often explored the role of advertising and consumer culture in art and society, utilizing techniques he learned making commercial art to depict popular cultural icons and mundane everyday objects . From 1957 to 1960, Rosenquist earned his living as a billboard painter. Time magazine stated that "his powerful graphic style and painted montages helped define the 1960s Pop Art movement."[10]"Milestones James Rosenquist," Time, April 17, 2017, p.15
