Organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and Tate Modern, London, this major exhibition of Roy Lichtenstein's work is a great summer vacation destination - and, for those who can't arrange travel to Chicago or London, the website provides a fun mini-break. Short videos at the site include curator James Rondeau, talking about installing the "largest exhibition ever devoted to the iconic American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein." Lichtenstein's widow Dorothy talks about her reactions to the show, and there's even a 46-second animation of a Lichtenstein that was used by the band U2 during their 1997 tour. The Explore Works section of the site gives visitors an inside angle on the artist's creative process, and a current blog post features an interview with Roy Brooks, the graphic designer who worked on the exhibition catalog.
