Located in Manhattan, Stern's idea was to commission stylish yet affordable objects for the home and wardrobe from notable fashion designers and artists. Unfortunately, the shop did not last long and most of the plates were left undistributed.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"body\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.4em; padding: 0px; font-family: GaramondURW-Reg, serif; font-size: 1.375rem; line-height: 2rem; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); letter-spacing: 0.192px;\"\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: GaramondURW-Dem, serif;\"\u003e\n    So this is tableware?\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: GaramondURW-Dem, serif;\"\u003e\n    \u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n   Exactly, this is probably now the most expensive throwaway tableware you can get your hands on.

Under his signature style of swirling primary colors and Ben-Day dots this familiar household item was transformed. Many people saw elements of critique in the work of the Pop artists and in Lichtenstein especially, who, by elevating everyday objects into high art made the art object itself become more risibly a commodity—emphasizing art's fundamental place as a commodity.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"body\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.4em; padding: 0px; font-family: GaramondURW-Reg, serif; font-size: 1.375rem; line-height: 2rem; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); letter-spacing: 0.192px;\"\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: GaramondURW-Dem, serif;\"\u003e\n    Who has one?\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: GaramondURW-Dem, serif;\"\u003e\n    \u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n   These paper plates seem to pop up everywhere and are featured in most major art collections including Tate Modern in London and MoMa in New York.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67871648514367,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/2885\/0495\/files\/10_cd289f31-fec6-47d0-98d6-3d2ce6df10ef.jpg?v=1793069066","url":"https:\/\/rareandfunbooks.com\/products\/paper-plate-1969-edition-framed-by-roy-lichtenstein-1st-ed-excellent-cond","provider":"Rare and Fun Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
