This Web feature was designed to complement "Roy Lichtenstein on the Roof," on view at the Metropolitan Museum May 1, 2003 through November 2, 2003. The installation comprised a selection of six brightly painted or patinated bronze and aluminum sculptures by American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997). The works were on view in the most dramatic outdoor space for sculpture in New York City: The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, which offers a spectacular view of Central Park and the New York City skyline. Created in the 1990s, the six works included a group of "brushstroke" sculptures and a seventeen-foot-wide house.

The installation was made possible by the Lita Annenberg Hazen Charitable Trust.
