Forty works from the private collection of Roy Lichtenstein, one of the world’s best-known pop artists, will go on sale for the first time at auction next month.

The works, comprising paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints, chart four decades of Lichtenstein’s career. They include his shift from abstract expressionism to pop art in the 1960s, his exploration of modern art in the 70s, his Reflections series of the 80s, and his interiors and nudes from the 90s.
