In 1995, Lichtenstein was awarded the Kyoto Prize, an international award that attracts worldwide attention, for making art familiar through Pop Art and for his many works that question the nature of art and its role in society. The entire work measures approximately 37 meters long by 15 meters wide, making it one of Lichtenstein's largest works of art. 《OSAKA VICKI》is an original design based on the VICKI series produced in 1964, but with additions made for Osaka.

《OSAKA VICKI》was finally completed in 1998, the year after Lichtenstein's death. This work will continue to shine brightly as a true expression of Lichtenstein's style.
