Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University

He wasn’t the Lichtenstein that we know of in the art market and in the annals of art history. He was a young artist trying to make rent, trying to make sense of this sort impulse to make work. And trying to find his way.

David Levinthal: Baseball

Don't miss this installation of large-format Polaroid photographs that capture some of the most iconic moments in the history of baseball through David Levinthal’s signature use of lifelike figurines. Babe Ruth’s called shot from game three of the 1932 World Series and Jackie Robinson stealing home in the 1955 World Series are among the moments rendered in the artist’s unique take on our national pastime.
