Robert Longos Barbara und Rafael (1998) stammen aus seiner ikonischen Serie Men in the Cities. Diese Werke zeigen scharf gekleidete Figuren in verrenkten, schwebenden Bewegungen - elegant und angespannt zugleich. Ausgehend von inszenierten Fotografien von Freunden übersetzte Longo diese dynamischen Posen in äußerst raffinierte, stilisierte Bilder, die die psychologische Intensität des zeitgenössischen Stadtlebens erforschen. Die beiden Lithografien stammen aus einer Auflage von 120 Exemplaren mit 10 Künstlerabzügen und 18 weiteren Abzügen und sind bisher noch nicht auf einer Auktion erschienen. Beispiele aus der Serie befinden sich in bedeutenden öffentlichen Sammlungen, darunter das Whitney Museum of American Art, das Buffalo AKG Art Museum und das Saint Louis Art Museum.
