Lichtenstein Gets a Quiet, Confident Showing at the Whitney

The Whitney Museum in New York has mounted a survey of Roy Lichtenstein, and the critical verdict is a warm one. Artnet News describes the exhibition as restrained in its staging, the kind of show that trusts the work rather than the wall text. The familiar images are there, but the reviewer finds them harder to pin down than their reputation suggests, by turns mysterious and unsparing. For New York collectors and anyone passing through the Meatpacking District this season, it reads as a show to see in person rather than take on faith.
