For Roy Lichtenstein: Like New, we’ve meticulously recreated Lichtenstein’s 1962 exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery all the way down to the parquet floors.

The impact of the 1962 exhibition was immediate and divisive. Castelli, the influential New York dealer who had helped establish Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, recognized the force of Lichtenstein’s new paintings and gave them a defining platform.

Based on romance and war comics, advertisements, and product packaging, the works in the show challenged prevailing ideas about originality, authorship, and what could count as serious art. For some viewers, they felt startlingly new; for others, vulgar or imitative. Yet the exhibition established the visual language that would come to define Lichtenstein’s practice: flat forms, bold outlines, primary colors, printed source material, and hand-painted Ben Day dots, the dot pattern used in commercial printing to build color and tone.

Like New is on view through May 10.

🐾 “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” — Andy Warhol
But in dog years, Archie remains immortal.
Meet Archie: Christmas gift to himself, muse, alter ego, and the real star of Andy Warhol Family Album. Out of hundreds of Polaroids on view — filled with celebrities, socialites, and artists — Archie the dachshund appears more than anyone else: 84 times. Warhol brought him everywhere, talked things over with him, and even managed his modeling career.
Andy Warhol Family Album 🎞️ is on view through October 19.
