Barbara et Rafael (1998) de Robert Longo font partie de la série emblématique de l'artiste intitulée Men in the Cities. Ces œuvres représentent des personnages vêtus de façon très stricte dans des mouvements contorsionnés et suspendus, à la fois élégants et tendus. À partir de photographies d'amis mises en scène, Longo a traduit ces poses dynamiques en images hautement raffinées et stylisées qui explorent l'intensité psychologique de la vie urbaine contemporaine. Cette paire de lithographies provient d'une édition de 120 exemplaires, avec 10 épreuves d'artiste et 18 épreuves supplémentaires, et n'a jamais été vendue aux enchères auparavant. Des exemples de cette série sont conservés dans d'importantes collections publiques, notamment au Whitney Museum of American Art, au Buffalo AKG Art Museum et au Saint Louis Art Museum.
