The title piece is a 1965 screenprint of a comic-book fist landing a punch, and one reporter said walking in felt like a 1980s shared flat with posters on every wall. Then you lean in. Lichtenstein cut his woodcuts in extra-hard wood against the grain, the curator told SRF, and some sheets took 18 print runs.

About fifty prints, from student experiments of the late 1940s to the 1990s, fill six rooms in the Neubau basement. Most of the 33 prints his foundation gave Basel for his centenary are shown for the first time, alongside two paintings on loan, Hopeless and Mirror #2.

SRF called him a tinkerer and a nerd, and suggested a magnifying glass for the screens, colour edges and layers. Room 6 is a lounge with books and a magnetic board for arranging your own dots and brushstrokes. The museum credits his cheap posters for putting Lichtenstein in so many living rooms, which explains the one in your parents' WG kitchen. Wednesdays run to 8pm.

لا تفوّت

  • Sweet Dreams, Baby! (1965)

    Look for the title piece, a screenprint nearly a metre tall of a comic-book fist landing a punch, the image SRF called Pop Art pure and simple.

  • Hopeless (1963)

    A hugely enlarged comic panel of a crying woman, an oil painting whose dots are painted to look like a print.

  • Wallpaper with Blue Floor Interior (1992)

    A five-panel screenprint nearly four metres wide, with a swirling blue carpet that nods to Lichtenstein's love of Van Gogh.

  • Portrait, Blue Face and Green Face (1989)

    Three abstract faces made in 18 steps of lithography, woodcut, screenprint and a wax process, so matte patches sit beside glossy and iridescent ones.

  • The Sower (1985)

    Van Gogh's sower redone as a Lichtenstein, printed from six aluminium plates, four Finnish birch blocks and 15 screens.

You want the big comic canvases: apart from two paintings, this is about fifty prints.

مع الأطفال

Room 6, the Lichtenstein Lounge, has a magnetic board where you can build your own picture from brushstrokes, dots and grids, the way he collaged his prints.
