There is also a Press Release listed on the Tate Modern Website, DACS (Design and Artists Copyright Society and a blog post about Liechtenstein's work at the tate modern.
DACS is an art equivalent to PRS for music. This society ensures artists get all the royalties they're entitled to. "We translate rights into revenues for artists and their heirs."
This in turn helps to sustain their practice and livelihood. We do this through our three rights management services: Payback, Copyright Licensing and the Artist’s Resale Right."
Lichtenstein's revolutionary work appears almost everywhere around the world and his participation in the new art alongside other big names in the industry known for their creative work like Andy Warhol."I'm never drawing the object itself; I'm only drawing a depiction of the object - a kind of crystallised symbol of it."Roy Lichtenstein
