In Memoriam: Dorothy Lichtenstein (1939-2024)

Dorothy brought grace, kindness, and vision to the work of the Lichtenstein Foundation. The platform she created for one extraordinary artist was inquisitive, innovative, and field changing. She will be greatly missed and we will continue to learn from the pathways she and the foundation forged.
Beth Finch, Head Curator, Colby College Museum of Art

Dorothy was so welcoming when Beth Finch and I visited with her in New Yor City and Southampton. She was a gracious host and was immensely supportive of our exhibition. I will always remember her vivaciousness and wonderful sense of humor.
