Alex Katz. Catalogo della mostra

Résumé du livre

In over 40 years of activity, Alex Katz has established himself as one of the leading American painters of the 20th century. His work in three main genres -- landscape, individual portraits, and group portraits -- explores unique relationships between appearance, perception, and representation. With their smooth texture and compositional assuredness, Katz's works have found a place in the permanent collections of major museums throughout the world. This substantial monograph, published on the occasion of a gallery exhibition in Italy, contains over 240 color reproductions, and includes essays by Vittoria Coen, director of the gallery, and critic Lisa Liebmann, as well as a biographical overview of this artist's influential career.
