Join us for a special pop art themed American feast, inspired by the work of the artist Roy Lichtenstein.
During the evening you will have the unique opportunity to meet Iria Candela, the co-curator of Lichtenstein: A Retrospective at É«¿Ø´«Ã½, and engage in an informal question and answer session inside the exhibition. Candela will also give a brief introduction before you enjoy dinner in exclusive space of the East Room offering impressive panoramic views of London.
Lichtenstein: A Retrospective is the first full-scale retrospective of this important artist in over twenty years. Co-organised by The Art Institute of Chicago and É«¿Ø´«Ã½, this momentous show brings together 125 of his most definitive paintings and sculptures and will reassess his enduring legacy.
With an exclusive private view for dinner guests, this will be a perfect evening for lovers of art and food.
