This screenprint on paper was created as part of the iconic New York Collection for Stockholm portfolio, a collection of 30 prints designed to be sold in an edition of 300, with each artist donating their prints. Experiments in Art and Technology in New York arranged the portfolio of prints to be sold to raise money for the collection at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, a European museum that celebrated American artists.
Today, important museums around the world hold the Stockholm portfolio including the MET and MoMA in New York, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Chazen Museum of Art and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, along with many others.

Born in 1933, American James Rosenquist was one of the instigators of the Pop Art movement. The movement represents the integration of popular culture into fine art, and as such, Rosenquist’s previous occupation as a billboard painter helped influence his art in this direction. The characteristics of Pop Art – bright colours, dynamic shapes and the use of recognisable slogans and images – are clearly represented in Rosenquist’s work. His painting ‘F-111’ is made up of many images centred around a plane and is the size of a room.
