- <p> You can't get Roy Lichtenstein to change his dots.
- Hollywood superagent Michael Ovitz knew that when he
- commissioned the Pop artist to create a mural for his new office
- building. For the past three weeks, Lichtenstein, 65, has been
- balancing on a scaffolding in the lobby atrium -- "a wonderful
- space" -- to finish his 28-ft. by 17-ft. work, which he calls
- Bauhaus Stairway: The Large Version. The outsize painting is the
- first thing a visitor to the edifice, er, spots. "It's very hard
- to miss," admits Lichtenstein. "I hope it's sort of cheery. It's
- far from depressing, unless you think my art is depressing."
