Lichtenstein: A Retrospective | Tate Modern |






The Lichtenstein: A Retrospective exhibition opened at the Tate Modern on the 21st February 2013 and runs until 27th May 2013, bringing together 125 paintings and sculptures from the influential artist, Roy Lichtenstein, who is well known for his comic strip style as well as his use of Ben-Day dots.

It was interesting to see his work up close as it isn't really possible to see the amount of precision that goes into it on images found on the internet. I also hadn't realised the scale on which he worked, most of his work was produced on huge canvases, giving them a greater impact. 

I really enjoyed this exhibition and highly recommend it, i would maybe visit in a few weeks time however and definitely not for the first few weekends, i visited on the day it opened and i think there were a few too many people.
