The Whitney Museum of American Art will open 'Roy Lichtenstein: 1997' on September 5, a focused exhibition highlighting rarely seen works from the last year of the Pop artist's life. The show includes prints, photographs, sculptural maquettes, and drawing and collage studies for unrealized projects, running in conjunction with the major exhibition 'Roy Lichtenstein: Like New' on the museum's fifth floor.
