United in their desire to create images "absolutely of the moment", Sigmar Polke, Roy Lichtenstein, and Gerald Laing, three artists on separate but inter-related artistic journeys, turned their attention in the early 1960s towards the Ben-Day dot. Featuring exceptional works inspired by this cost-effective printing method, 'Source and Stimulus: Polke, Lichtenstein, Laing' connects these artists on the basis of their manipulation of the dot and as they transformed imagery from the commercial sphere into fine art. Exhibition: Lévy Gorvy Gallery, New York, USA (06.03.-28.04.2018).
