Roy Lichtenstein: Like New is the Whitney Museum of American Art’s current survey of the artist. The Lichtenstein Foundation lists an October 11 opening, and the Whitney press page gives a closing date of May 10, 2027. Those dates establish an extended exhibition window rather than a one-weekend event.

The museum’s exhibition material places Lichtenstein’s Pop work at the center of the presentation. Its art-and-artists page is a route into the museum’s own interpretation. A familiar printed reproduction does not supply the scale, surface or relationship between works that an exhibition can make available.

This is a source-based account of the exhibition and its dates, not a review based on a gallery visit. The press page should be distinguished from a full checklist or a critic’s independent response. Anyone seeking a particular work should consult the museum’s current exhibition information.

Recognizing an artist’s visual vocabulary can make a show accessible, but it can also encourage visitors to move too quickly. Comparing composition, materials and changes across works provides a more useful task than checking whether an image resembles an iconic example. The exhibition’s title invites that reconsideration without requiring every viewer to arrive at the same judgment.
