EAST HAMPTON, NY.- The Museum at Guild Hall presents Roy Lichtenstein: Between Sea and Sky on view August 8 through October 12, 2015 in East Hampton, New York. Comprised of over 30 works from private lenders and the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, the exhibition includes works from the 1960s-1990s.

In 1964, inspired by both the long history of art and by imagery he found on contemporary printed postcards, Roy Lichtenstein began to explore the genre of land and seascapes, using paint, plastic, enamel, drawings, collage, print, and even film to realize his various works. Seascapes were an essential part of the artist’s lifelong exploration of psychological optics, light and his keen observations on the nature of field and ground. They were a genre he would revisit throughout his career in various media and guises. A collaboration between Guild Hall and the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, Roy Lichtenstein: Between Sea and Sky celebrates the artist’s abiding relationship with the East End of New York and all that it inspired.

A fully-illustrated 144-page hardcover catalogue accompanies the exhibition. It presents scholarly essays and includes a timeline, chronology, and bibliography, in addition to images of the works in the exhibition.

Founded over 80 years ago, Guild Hall is the Hampton’s year-round visual and performing arts center wholly dedicated to serving the residents, members, families, and artists of the East End. The center offers the community, as well as visitors and tourists, enriching experiences by presenting relevant and meaningful programs and events, working in collaboration with artists, and providing a meeting place for the community.
