This exclusive collection includes three individual skateboards and a skateboard triptych. The collection begins with Lichtenstein’s 1964 piece Girl in Mirror, which depicts a blonde woman smiling into a handheld mirror. The skateboard format magnifies the artwork to fit its slim design, enhancing the perspective. Next in the series is a triptych featuring The Drowning Girl from 1963. This set of three skateboards captures the entire painting, including the famous line, “I Don’t Care! I’d Rather Sink – Than Call Brad For Help!” The collection continues with Varoom! from 1963, which portrays a comic book explosion. The final piece in the collection is a cropped interpretation of Lichtenstein’s 1964 painting Happy Tears. This skateboard artwork focuses on a close-up of the woman’s face, showing only one eye and a portion of her mouth.
