'The architectural elements in the Entablature series can be seen as providing the artist with ready-made designs, in much the same way as comic strips and advertisements had provided him with easily recognised motifs in his earlier work.' Christoph Grunenberg, July 2000, Tate

Between 1971 and 1976, Lichtenstein produced two series of entablature paintings based on photographs he had taken in New York of 20th century architectural ornaments in Lower Manhattan and, specifically, in the vicinity of Wall Street and 28th Street. During this period, in May 1974, he began to also discuss the creation of the 'Entablature' print series with Master Printmaker, Ken Tyler of Tyler Graphics Ltd., who Lichtenstein collaborated with closely to make many of his original prints over the years.

Together, Lichtenstein and Tyler produced eleven 'Entablature' prints, each one taking an epic two months to complete before they would move on to the next composition.
