Title: Lichtenholstein Location: Sam Houston Statue: Hermann Park-Montrose and Fannin Artist: Christopher Olivier Sponsor: Hannah, Oliver and Rita Herzog “I’ve always been attracted to the artists from the ‘Pop Art’ moovement. I thought of plays on artists’ names and came up with Lichtenholstein. I created a Holstein cow in the painting style of Roy Lichtenstein. He was famous for using Benday patterns in his Pop works. I not only wanted to honor a great Pop artist, I also wanted to educate the public on how old processes can influence new ideas. Above all, I wanted this to be funny to children.”				This cow was sold in Flight 6 of the internet auction hosted by Amazon.com that ran from December 20, 2001 to January 8, 2002. Send a Postcard
