Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney Museum of American Art is the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the United States, presenting a full range of 20th-century and contemporary work. Founded in 1930 by artist and philanthropist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), the Museum has been collecting, preserving, and exhibiting work by American artists for nearly a century.
The Foundation sponsors exhibitions that reach new audiences, deepen understanding, and advance scholarship in the field of contemporary art. Landmark exhibitions such as Edges of Ailey, Jennifer Packer: The Eye Is Not Satisfied with Seeing, Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945, and Calder: Hypermobility have all highlighted new and dynamic ways of exploring masterworks and expanding the story of American art.
Roy Lichtenstein Like New Opens at The Whitney Museum October 11, 2026
The Foundation is proud to support this exhibition, which examines the legacy of one of America’s defining artists of the Pop art movement. Roy Lichtenstein turned the visual language of mass culture—such as comics, advertising, and consumer goods—into some of the most recognizable images of the twentieth century. His work looked cool, crisp, and machine-made, but was meticulously handmade, revealing an artist fascinated by how images are built, copied, enlarged, circulated, and made new.
Roy Lichtenstein: Like New offers a bold reconsideration of Lichtenstein for the present. Bringing together roughly 130 works made from the early 1940s through the 1990s, the exhibition traces how his early interest in perception and visual recognition shaped a career-long investigation into duplication, simulation, and image culture. The exhibition is on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art through May 10, 2027. To learn more and reserve tickets, visit , click here.
