THREE LANDSCAPES: A FILM INSTALLATION BY ROY LICHTENSTEIN
6 October, 2011 – 12 February, 2012
This exhibition presents Three Landscapes, a little-known triple screen film installation by Roy Lichtenstein, unseen since its showing at the Los Angeles County Museum in 1971 as part of the groundbreaking exhibition Art and Technology. The result of a short residency at Universal Studios in Hollywood, the films, newly restored by the Whitney on their original 35mm format, are testimony to Lichtenstein’s experimentation with form and his fascination with cinema.
