House I, Aluminum sculpture in National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, United States.
The House I sculpture presents angular geometric shapes and optical illusions through its painted aluminum construction and three-dimensional architectural form in the garden space.
Created in 1996 and installed in 1998, House I represents a period when the National Gallery of Art expanded its collection with contemporary outdoor installations.
The sculpture exemplifies the intersection of architecture and Pop Art movement principles through its geometric patterns and industrial materials common in Lichtenstein's works.
The sculpture remains accessible throughout the year within the 6.1-acre garden space, which includes walking paths and seating areas for observation.
The aluminum structure changes its visual appearance as visitors move around it, creating an effect where the house appears to move inward and outward simultaneously.
