How does this artwork elucidate its History?
The subject of Roto Broil comes from a packaging carton.  When Lichtenstein had his first solo show at The Leo Castelli Gallery in February 1962, it sold out before opening. Roto Broil was one of the works that Lichtenstein exhibited at that show. The work was acquired at Sotheby's, New York on October 21, 1976 for $ 75,000 USD
