Edward Hopper: Chop Suey - 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
Painted in 1929, Chop Suey is among the most celebrated works in American art. Two women sit at a table in a sun-drenched New York lunchroom, their conversation suspended in that peculiarly Hopperesque stillness - intimate yet unknowable, urban yet quiet.
In 2018, the painting sold at Christie's for nearly $92 million, making it the most expensive work of pre-World War II American art ever auctioned. This puzzle is about as close as most of us will get to owning it.
Pomegranate works directly with museums, galleries, and foundations to licence their art, and the colour accuracy here reflects that commitment. The image is reproduced on 250gsm matte art paper, which eliminates glare without sacrificing the warmth or depth of Hopper's palette. The pieces themselves are ribbon-cut from thick recycled board - they interlock firmly and don't shed the fine dust that cheaper puzzles leave across your table.
The completed puzzle measures 63.5 x 50.8cm, and the box (33 x 25.4 x 4.8cm) contains a 22.9 x 30.5cm insert of the painting to use as a reference during assembly. At 1000 pieces, it offers a satisfying challenge without becoming a months-long commitment.
This is a puzzle worth giving. It suits anyone with an interest in American Realism, in Hopper specifically, or simply in spending a few hours engaged with something genuinely beautiful. Packaged and shipped from Pomegranate's warehouse in Portland, Oregon - no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
