Rosenquist, who died in 2017 at the age of 83, was a pioneer of the Pop Art move-ment in the 1960s alongside such contemporaries as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. “Joystick is part of a series that has to do with flight and perspective, and what it means to present those concepts on different scales,” said his daughter, Lily, who supervised its installation in 2019. “Here you’re able to have an immersive experience with the work,” she said, “and his work really was for everyone.”
