This Whitney-exclusive cotton-blend heavyweight sweatshirt is inspired by Lichtenstein's Cathedral #2 (1969) and features the artist's name printed across the chest in a prominent, blue block collegiate varsity style. The back features the work depicting an abstract pop art pattern of overlapping red and blue Ben-Day dots and with the collection's custom woven label featuring an interpretation of the artist's original letterhead stitched on the left sleeve. Unlike most of this collection, this style is one of three only available at the Whitney. Created in collaboration with the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein and Gap.

Our collaboration with Gap and the Estate of Roy Lichtenstein brings his bold visual language to an 18-piece collection in celebration of Roy Lichtenstein: Like New. Offering a fresh view of an artist many think they know, it looks beneath the surface of his images to trace how they were built, circulated, and transformed.

About the Artist:
Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), born in New York City, was a founder of Pop Art in America. He celebrates and satirizes the common things of everyday life. At first his art was based on commercial ads and characters in comic strips, but he later expanded his subjects to include landscapes, still-lifes, figures, and even the history of painting itself. Known for the wit and elegance he brought to his work, Lichtenstein created more than 5,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, and objects ranging from dinner plates to designs for detailing a BMW. Lichtenstein’s work is represented in museums and galleries around the world.
