Roy Lichtensteins Reverie (1965) ist ein wegweisender Siebdruck, der beispielhaft für die Verwandlung von Comic-Bildern in hohe Kunst durch den Künstler ist. Dieses Werk wurde als Teil des einflussreichen Portfolios 11 Pop Artists veröffentlicht und stammt aus einer Auflage von 200 Exemplaren, wobei dieser Abdruck mit 121/200 nummeriert ist. Darüber hinaus wurden etwa 50 Probedrucke mit römischen Zahlen und eine kleine Anzahl von Künstler-Probedrucken herausgegeben. Die Mappe, die aufstrebende Künstler wie Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol und Tom Wesselmann zusammenbrachte, spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Festigung des Platzes der Pop Art im Kanon der zeitgenössischen Kunst.





Reverie zeigt eine nachdenkliche, stilisierte Heldin, die in Lichtensteins charakteristischen Ben-Day-Punkten, kühnen Konturen und Primärfarben dargestellt ist und sowohl das Melodrama als auch die Zurückhaltung der Comic-Erzählung einfängt. Der Titel erinnert an den nostalgischen Song Stardust von Hoagie Carmichael aus dem Jahr 1927, insbesondere an die Zeile "The melody haunts my reverie", die die nostalgische Stimmung unterstreicht, die sich im fernen Blick des Dargestellten ausdrückt. Lichtenstein selbst betrachtete seine Beiträge zu 11 Pop Artists als seine ersten echten Kunstdrucke, die den Höhepunkt einer jahrelangen Beherrschung verschiedener Drucktechniken, von der Radierung bis zum Siebdruck, darstellen.





Abzüge aus dieser Edition befinden sich heute in bedeutenden öffentlichen Sammlungen, darunter das Art Institute of Chicago, die National Gallery of Art, das Museum of Modern Art und das Smithsonian American Art Museum, was ihre historische und künstlerische Bedeutung unterstreicht.
