Description:
Originally shown in the 1991 Whitney Biennial, it depicts a room in an affluent home in which modernist furniture is offset by vases of flowers and art objects of various sorts, including an African mask standing on shelves behind an elongated seat. Lichtenstein began the Interiors series in the winter of 1990 and uses the conceit of a room corner in most compositions. It features both the Ben-Day dot pattern and an equally regular applied stripe pattern. He later (1991) created a sculpture based on the African mask, also in the Broad Museum collection.
