Rosenquist said the following about his involvement in the Pop Art movement: "They [art critics] called me a Pop artist because I used recognizable imagery. The critics like to group people together. I didn't meet Andy Warhol until 1964. I did not really know Andy or Roy Lichtenstein that well. We all emerged separately.""Art Space Talk: James Rosenquist", Myartspace, April 4, 2008.

Rosenquist died at his home in New York City on March 31, 2017 at the age of 83 after a long illness.
