Full Description
Since the beginning of the 60s, Alex Katz has been using the over-dimensional formats typical for him, inspired as they were by advertisements for Pepsi or Lucky Strike or picture compositions of great film directors like Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni. At roughly the same time, he also started to "cut out" his figure paintings in order to carry the surface quality of his depictions to the extreme - first in oil on wood, later made from aluminum. This book presents a broad selection of his silhouette sculptures, enabling readers to study Katz' works from a new, unusual perspective.
