Whitney Museum to Open 'Roy Lichtenstein: 1997' Exhibition on Sept 5
The Facts
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. The exhibition is organized by David Crane, Curatorial Research Associate, and Nakai Falcón, Curatorial Assistant.
The Signal
The exhibition offers fresh insight into Lichtenstein's late experimentation and his response to the advent of the digital age, demonstrating the vitality of his vision five decades into his career. For collectors and curators, this show provides a rare opportunity to see the artist's final creative output, often overshadowed by his iconic 1960s and 1970s works, and underscores the Whitney's commitment to reexamining canonical figures through a contemporary lens.
