By now it's no surprise to find a museum-worthy show of a major artist at a Chelsea gallery. The spoils of this season are such that a large trove of 1970s and '80s Lichtensteins arrived last month without much fanfare at the Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street, overshadowed by another Gagosian coup -- Monet's late paintings -- a few blocks away. At the Lichtenstein exhibition it's harder to forget that you're in a place of business. The bulk of the more than 50 works in ''Roy Lichtenstein: Still Lifes'' comes from unnamed private collections, not museums, and some are for sale. The very idea of Lichtenstein, who died in 1997, as a studious genre painter may seem like a market-generated fiction; certainly the show is less inviting than the gallery's ''Roy Lichtenstein: Girls'' in 2008.
