PHOTOGRAPHY BY J CALDWELL
The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University celebrated its new exhibition, Roy Lichtenstein: History in the Making, 1948–1960, with preview and opening events on Aug. 24 and 25, respectively. The exhibition, the first of its kind to take a deep dive into the celebrated artist’s early works, is a collaboration between co-curators at the Nasher Museum and the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine, that’s more than five years in the making. Museum members, donors, friends and visitors – alongside guests from the Colby and the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation and Roy Lichtenstein Estate in New York – came to experience this original, traveling exhibition that features about 90 works on loan from both museum and private collections. The Nasher Museum is the final venue of the national tour, and the exhibit closes Jan. 8, 2023.
