Laurie Lambrecht: Inside Roy Lichtenstein's Studio: Photographs 1990-1992

From November 14, 2008 through January 19, 2009, The Drawing Room in East Hampton is pleased to present a collection of Laurie Lambrecht’s photographs of Roy Lichtenstein and his fascinating studio surroundings, created between 1990 and 1992 while Lambrecht worked as his administrative assistant. It is rare that we can peer into the creative process of a great artist of our time. In this dazzling photographic series Lambrecht shares her private observations of Lichtenstein’s working process with respect, while creating an important body of work of her own.

In the privileged environment of his meticulous Southampton studio, Lambrecht cast her eye around the scene of canvases in progress, taped on the surface with stencils, and worktables strewn with Prisma pencils, Benday dot covered papers, and clippings from The Flash and other period comic books. The combination of found and arranged compositions that comprise this series reveal both his working method and her own. Amazed by the intense preparation that imbues each of Lichtenstein’s canvases, Lambrecht provides evidence of the Pop master at work.
