Roy Lichtenstein. Pop Variations. displays the numerous themes of the great American artist through a selection of over 50 artworks (editions and serigraphies, experimentations with metal, textiles and plastic, photographs and videos) coming from various prestigious European and American collections. 

Following mainly a chronological display which matches a thematic development, the exhibition follows the entire artistic career of Lichtenstein – starting from the sixties – in which you will find his themes and genres, from comics to advertisements, still-lives, landscapes, short dips in abstraction and in the shapes of the great masters, the bidimensional interiors, and finally his series on female nudes. 

“His art – based on the effects of visual perception – is an art of “sight”. It is then understandable how, in a society that from the 60s onwards was progressively infused by the power of the image, Lichtenstein’s art still maintains a strong and long-lasting influence on visual creatives.” 
– Gianni Mercurio, Curator of the exhibition.
