About the Item

Tom Wesselmann’s 'Fast Sketch of Still Life with Abstract Painting' is a bold, large-scale screen print (57 x 84 inches) on museum board that exemplifies his signature Pop Art style, blending classical still life motifs with modern commercial aesthetics. The composition juxtaposes everyday objects—likely rendered in flat, vibrant colors and crisp outlines—with a framed abstract painting, creating a layered dialogue between traditional art forms and contemporary visual culture. The title suggests spontaneity, yet the work's polished execution contrasts sharply with the notion of a quick sketch, highlighting Wesselmann’s playful tension between immediacy and artifice. By incorporating elements of both abstraction and figuration, the piece reflects his ongoing exploration of beauty, perception, and the boundaries between high art and mass media.
