Exploring Lichtenstein's Hidden Sculptural Gems

Gagosian gallery in New York is hosting an exhibition called "Lichtenstein Remembered" to celebrate the centenary of pop art icon Roy Lichtenstein. The show focuses on Lichtenstein's lesser-known sculptures, which have received less attention compared to his famous paintings. The sculptures, described as "drawings in space," are characterized by bold colors, angular lines, and a playful, cartoon-like aesthetic. The exhibition highlights Lichtenstein's ability to create sculptural works that appear flat yet textured. The show offers a fresh perspective on the artist's career and showcases his lasting influence on contemporary artists.

Hong Kong's Giant Rubber Ducks: A Deflated Comeback

One of the two giant rubber ducks on display in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor was deflated due to sweltering temperatures. The deflated duck will be sent for repairs, while its friend will remain in the harbor as part of a pop-art installation dubbed "Double Duck." The artwork's previous arrival in Victoria Harbour made a splash worldwide, in part because it mysteriously deflated overnight before being reinflated days later.

Hong Kong's Giant Rubber Ducks: Inflation and Deflation.

One of the two giant inflatable ducks by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, which were unveiled in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor, deflated due to hot weather and rising air pressure. The organizers said the duck would be transferred back to the shipyard for repair. The two 18-meter (59-feet) -tall yellow ducks resemble bath toys and have been on a world tour since 2007. Hofman said he hoped the return of his pop-art icons would bring some joy to the city.

The Overwhelming Admiration of Andy Warhol.

The Brant Foundation is currently showcasing "Andy Warhol: Thirty Are Better than One," a survey of five decades of purchases by Peter Brant in his New York foundation. The exhibit features 50 classic works of Pop Art, including a great Car Crash, a bullet-pierced Marilyn, and a vast Oxidation that Warhol "painted" with urine. However, the author suggests that we should acknowledge the profound and fertile wrongness that was in Warhol's art from the start, rather than just admiring his achievements. Warhol was willing to recognize how stuff that starts life looking like art can end it acting like currency, and his works have become the safest of deluxe commodities.
