Brushstroke Group is part of a series of monumental brushstroke sculptures begun in the 1980s and rises 29 feet into the air. Roy Lichtenstein, a pioneer of the Pop Art movement, was influenced by popular advertising and comic book images, and the brushstroke was one of his frequent motifs. This painted aluminum sculpture was installed here in 2005 and is on loan from the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, courtesy Duane Morris LLP, with the assistance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fairmount Park Art Association, now the Association for Public Art.
