PEOPLE, Page 94Mural, Mural on the WallBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
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."
