Artists associated with the museum's collection and programme.
Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) was an American artist and a leading figure of Pop Art. Born in New York, he rose to prominence in the early 1960s with large paintings based on comic strips and advertisements, rendered with bold black outlines, flat primary colors, and Ben-Day dots that mimic commercial printing. Over a career spanning more than three decades he extended this vocabulary to art history, interiors, landscapes, sculpture, and murals, and his investigation of mass-produced imagery has influenced generations of artists. He lived and worked mainly in New York and Southampton.
Lucas Samaras (1936–2024) was a Greek-born American artist who worked across sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, and digital media. Born in Kastoria, Greece, he emigrated to the United States in 1948 and studied at Rutgers University, taking part in the Happenings movement in New York in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He is best known for his mixed-media boxes, begun in the early 1960s, in which photographs, found objects, pins, mirrors, yarn, and other materials are assembled into intricate, self-contained environments, as well as for his manipulated Polaroid self-portraits, the Photo-Transformations. Across more than seven decades, his work consistently explored the body, the psyche, and the nature of selfhood.
Alex Da Corte (b. 1980, Camden, New Jersey) is a Venezuelan American artist who lives and works in Philadelphia. Working across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, and video, he layers references from popular culture and art history, making familiar icons strange through acts of theatrical transformation. His work has been the subject of surveys at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and has been featured in the Whitney Biennial, the Venice Biennale, the Carnegie International, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Roof Garden Commission. He was the 2023 Philip Guston Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Rome.
Maurizio Cattelan (born 21 September 1960 in Padua) is an Italian visual artist known primarily for his hyperrealistic sculptures and installations; his practice also includes curating and publishing. Self-taught, he has since the early 1990s been one of the defining voices in international art, taking familiar images and shifting them just enough to unsettle their meaning, touching on religion, childhood, authority and collective trauma. His satirical approach has often earned him the label of the art world's prankster. Among his best-known works are La Nona Ora, a sculpture of Pope John Paul II struck by a meteorite; Him (2001); America, a solid gold toilet; and Comedian, a banana duct-taped to a wall. In 2011 the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York presented a retrospective of his work, and in 2006 he co-curated the 4th Berlin Biennale. In 2026 he received the Preis der Nationalgalerie, presenting NIGHT, his first major solo exhibition in Germany, at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
