Girl with Ball
''Girl with Ball'' is a 1961 painting by Roy Lichtenstein. It is an oil on canvas Pop art work that is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, after being owned for several decades by Philip Johnson. It is one of Lichtenstein's earliest Pop art works and is known for its source, which is a newspaper ad that ran for several decades and which was among Lichtenstein's earliest works sourced from pop culture.
''Girl with Ball'' was exhibited at Lichtenstein's first solo exhibition and was displayed in ''Newsweek'' review of the show. This work significantly alters the original source and is considered exemplary of Lichtenstein's works that exaggerate the mechanically produced appearance although the result of his painterly work. It is an enduring depiction of the contemporary beauty figure.
==Background==
''Girl with Ball'' was inspired by a 1961 advertisement for the Mount Airy Lodge in the Pocono Mountains. The ad, which started running in 1955, was widely published in the New York metropolitan area and elsewhere, including several prominent newspapers such as ''The New York Times'' and the ''Daily News''. The advertisement was still running in newspapers more than twenty years after Lichtenstein produced the work.
According to the Lichtenstein Foundation website, in autumn 1961, a fellow teacher at Rutgers University named Allan Kaprow made introductions between Lichtenstein and Leo Castelli Gallery director Ivan Karp. Lichtenstein showed Karp several paintings including ''Girl with Ball'', which was the one that intrigued Karp. Karp agreed to represent Lichtenstein weeks later. After showing the painting to Andy Warhol, he sold it to architect Philip Johnson that November. The painting appeared in ''Newsweek'' 1962 review of Lichtenstein's Castelli Gallery show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chronology )〕 The work appeared in the April 3, 1963 "Pop! Goes the Easel" show at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston along with his ''Brattata'' (1962) and ''Head-Red and Yellow'' (1962).
