“Alex Katz: Portraits and Late Summer Flowers”

Meyerovich Gallery’s summer/fall exhibition features “Alex Katz: Portraits and Late Summer Flowers” from August 1 until October 2, 2013. Alex Katz (b. 1927) is an American figurative artist regarded as one of the most important artists of his generation. His works have been collected and exhibited extensively in the US and around the world. In 2012, Katz celebrated his 85th birthday and a career that spans an impressive six decades.

Alex Katz is associated with the Pop Art movement and is known for his bold, hard-edged figurative portraits, among the most recognizable images in contemporary art. Katz distills his subjects down to their essence with arresting simplicity of line, color, form and a powerful graphic punch. These captivating new monochromatic etchings on display at Meyerovich Gallery feature six unforgettable portraits: Christine, Elizabeth (I, II, III), Meghan, Javier (30 x 34 in. each), that truly define Katz’s style. The exhibition also includes a large vibrant scene of Late Summer Flowers (40 x 55 in.) that envelop the viewer in colorful nature. Also featured is the most recent portrait of the artist’s wife and muse, Ada, and a dynamic image of an Olympic Swimmer.

The exhibition will also be displayed on the Gallery’s website: www.meyerovich.com.
