Roy Lichtenstein: Like New

In 1962, architect Philip Johnson commissioned Lichtenstein to paint a mural for the New York StatePavilion he was designing for the upcoming 1964–65World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, Queens. Installed on the outside of Johnson’s cylindrical Theaterama building alongside the works of nine other artists, including Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol, New York World’s Fair Mural (Girl in Window), (1963) was Lichtenstein’s first public outdoor mural. Presented in New York for the first time in more than sixty years, this re-created mural has been installed so it can be seen from a distance, like the original.
