Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
What Roy thought about his early work has always been a question that has amused us over the years. He was ambivalent, he was loyal to it, he recollected it during his lifetime, he preserved it during his lifetime … And I think he would be amused that we’re spending this much time studying this.

Brooklyn Artist Allison Zuckerman on Thursday, October 6, at 6 PM
“When I looked at Lichtenstein’s early work, I felt very surprised, and amazed, and happy because it’s kind of a vulnerable thing to see an artist’s career unfold, and the way that they’re looking at art, and what they’re invested in.” — Allison Zuckerman, on the early work of Roy Lichtenstein.

Barkley L. Hendricks on Rembrandt
"The Frick Collection was one of Barkley's favorite museums. He would have been thrilled that his portraits will hang in conversation with the Old Masters who had such an influence on his technique." —Nasher Museum Director Trevor Schoonmaker, who organized the first career retrospective of Hendricks's paintings, Barkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool, at the Nasher Museum in 2008 and also edited the accompanying 144-page catalogue.
