A canvas by Roy Lichtenstein, I Can See The Whole Room!… And There’s Nobody In It!, popped previous world records for the landmark contemporary artist when it sold for $US43.2 million in New York.
The sale at Christie’s beat the artist’s previous auction record of $US42.6 million and led a strong performance for contemporary works.
I Can See the Whole Room!… was executed in 1961 with oil and graphite in Lichtenstein’s familiar cartoon style, depicting a stern male face peering out from the canvas into a peephole and featuring the work’s title in a speech bubble — via redwolf.newsvine.com

I had an design assignment for school. I could make what ever I wanted. Inspired by Mad Man I came up with a photo shoot in the style of the 60’s with products from this time.
Update: These are the original photo’s pre photoshop. I really like to photoshop.and this took me a couple of days. (Macbook couldn’t handle the pressure)
I also did the styling and set styling. My friend who is an amazing photographer made the photo’s
