About the Work
"Mirror #9 (C.114)" is a lithograph and screenprint on special arjormari paper created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1972 for his "Mirror" series. From the edition of 95, the artwork is signed and dated 'rf Lichtenstein '72' and annotated lower center. The artwork is framed in a contemporary white frame and has a framed size of 46.25 x 36.25". The artwork ships framed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Roy Lichtenstein’s "Mirror #9" is among the most visually striking works from his 1972 Mirror Series. Tall, narrow, and brilliantly graphic, the print transforms the idea of reflection into a vertical field of color, rhythm, and light. Rather than showing a face, room, or reflected scene, Lichtenstein gives us the visual language of a mirror reduced to its essentials: dots, bands, edges, and luminous color.
The "Mirror Series" occupies an important place in Lichtenstein’s early 1970s work. Having moved beyond the narrative force of his comic-inspired imagery, the artist turned to subjects that allowed him to explore how images communicate. A mirror was ideal because it is both familiar and elusive. It is supposed to reflect reality, yet in art it must be represented through signs and conventions. In "Mirror #9," Lichtenstein makes those conventions the subject of the work.
The print’s power lies in its economy. Two tall rectangular forms are filled with fields of blue and black dots, crossed by vivid yellow and green vertical bands. These elements suggest shine, glass, and reflected light, but they never resolve into a literal image. The result is both abstract and instantly legible. We understand it as a mirror not because it reflects anything, but because Lichtenstein has taught us how to read it.
The 1972 "Mirror Series" was not reproductive; it was conceived as a group of original prints in which lithography, screenprint, line-cut, embossing, and related techniques became part of the artistic language. The precision of the surface is central to the work’s effect.
For collectors, "Mirror #9 "offers a particularly compelling balance. It has the clarity, color, and graphic force associated with Lichtenstein, but it is more distilled and architectural than his comic-strip subjects. Its vertical format gives it the presence of a doorway, window, or illuminated panel, making it feel unusually contemporary.
Elegant, bold, and conceptually sharp, Mirror #9 shows Lichtenstein turning one of the most ordinary objects in daily life into a meditation on surface, recognition, and the act of seeing.
