Tate Modern London, Lichtenstein: A Retrospective
21 February – 27 May 2013 Tate Modern London,
is proud to present a retrospective of one of the
great American artists of the twentieth century.
Lichtenstein: A Retrospective is the first full-scale
retrospective of this important artist in over twenty
years. Co-organised by The Art Institute of Chicago
and Tate Modern, this momentous show brings
together 125 of his most definitive paintings and
sculptures and will reassess his enduring legacy.
Lichtenstein is renowned for his works based on
comic strips and advertising imagery, coloured
with his signature hand-painted Benday dots. The
exhibition showcases such key paintings as Look
Mickey 1961 lent from the National Gallery Art,
Washington and his monumental Artist’s Studio
series of 1973–4. Other noteworthy highlights
include Whaam! 1963 – a signature work in Tate’s
collection – and Drowning Girl 1963 on loan from
the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Berlin Museum of Modern Art, Art in Berlin 1880-1980
The Berlinische Galerie collects art produced in
Berlin since 1870. From now on, the museum will
be presenting internationally acclaimed works
from the fields of painting, graphic art, sculpture,
photography and architecture in exhibition architecture
designed by the Berlin architectural office
of David Saik. The chronological presentation of
our masterpieces in an area of 1,500 square metres

collection and communicates an exciting dialogue
among different artistic styles: Art around 1900,
Expressionism, Berlin Dada, the Eastern European
Avant-Garde, New Objectivity, Art in the National
Socialist Era, the New Beginning after 1945 and
Positions of the 1950s.
