YORK, NY.- Gagosian Gallery presents “Roy Lichtenstein:
Still
Lifes,” the first exhibition devoted solely to Lichtenstein’s still life

paintings, sculptures and drawings, which span from 1972 through the
early
1980s. Although Lichtenstein will always be synonymous with Pop Art, he
continued to make inventive new work for almost three decades beyond the
1960s,
during which he had become famous for his distinctive use of popular
cartoon
images and commercial painting style. On exhibition 8 May through 30
July,
2010.
