Whitney Descriptions: Roy Lichtenstein and Printmaking Workshop

Whitney Museum of American Art · Meatpacking District

Join us for a touch tour and a tactile printmaking experience with Whitney educator Alexandra Huber-Weiss and Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. The event begins with the tour at 11 am in Roy Lichtenstein: Like New. At 12 pm, we will transition to the 3rd Floor Hearst Artspace for a collagraph printmaking workshop. For all accommodations, please email accessfeedback@whitney.org or call (646) 666-5574 with two weeks’ notice. This event is free, but registration is required. Whitney Descriptions provides an opportunity for visitors who are blind or have low vision to experience the richness and diversity of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American art through vivid description. Ninety-minute sessions are free of charge and are offered monthly on weekend mornings through Zoom and over the phone. Founded in 1947 by visionary artist and master printer Robert Blackburn, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (RBPMW) is the longest-running community printshop in the United States. In 2002, Blackburn ensured the continuity of this legacy by relocating the workshop to the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA). Today, RBPMW upholds Blackburn’s mission by providing an accessible and affordable studio environment that supports both traditional and contemporary printmaking concepts. Through fellowships, workshops, discussions, and exhibitions, RBPMW advances its educational initiatives within a welcoming environment built on fairness, shared access, and artistic excellence.

All Ages Artmaking: Sky Sketchesart

All Ages Artmaking: Sky Sketches

Whitney Museum of American Art · Meatpacking District

Artists of all ages are invited to spend time with a reproduction of Super Sunset Billboard in the gallery and create their own landscape inspired by what they see. Gaze at Lichtenstein’s sunset or look out the window at the landscape around you, then experiment with shape, line, and pattern to create a view of your own. Lichtenstein created this giant abstract sunset as a billboard installed by the side of the road near Philadelphia. Billboards are usually designed to sell us something or tell us what to buy. Imagine driving by and seeing a giant image of a sunset instead. Consider what it means to use a space usually meant for commercial advertisements for art. Roy Lichtenstein was born and raised in New York City in 1924. He became known for his distinctive style using black outlines, bold colors, and dots resembling those used in comics. Over the years, he brought his unmistakable approach to everything from advertisements to art historical masterpieces.
