• Over 100 works by American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein are now on view at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany. Lichtenstein’s well-known halftone dot paintings, some of which are pop interpretations of works by Picasso and Matisse, hang near examples of his sculptural work and drawings until October 3. Read more about the exhibition at Art Knowledge News. • An installation of work by Jeff Koons has been set up in the CT Scanning room at Chicago’s Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital. Koons, who donated pieces including the red Balloon Dog, teamed up with the non-profit RxArt to brighten up the typically sterile hospital environment. For more information click here.
