Join us for a conversation celebrating the legacy of artists Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015) and Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997). From color, to line, to pop imagery, these artists were instrumental in shaping post-war American art. The panel offers a unique opportunity to hear from their spouses, Dorothy Lichtenstein and Jack Shear.

Panelists:

  • Hayes Greenfield, musician and educator
  • Dorothy Lichtenstein, president of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation and FAPE Board member
  • Odili Donald Odita, artist
  • Jack Shear, president of the Ellsworth Kelly Foundation and FAPE Board member

Moderated by Harry Cooper, the National Gallery’s senior curator and head of modern and contemporary art.

This program is coordinated with the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies (FAPE) and generously sponsored by Agnes Gund in honor of Sharon Percy Rockefeller.
