FRANK FLUEGEL GALLERY has new original liithographs by Alex Katz for sale. The Flowers Portfolio by Alex Katz, consists of 7 original prints that showcase Katz's signature minimalist aesthetic in a masterful interpretation of flora.
For over six decades, Alex Katz has drawn inspiration from all types of flowers, transforming windblown tiger lilies, marigolds, roses and petunias into iconic works of Pop Art. Katz's floral renderings are vibrant and alive, often with stems growing in all directions, petals flying through the air, and leaves scattered throughout the composition. Frank Fluegel Galerie has had Alex Katz in its program since 1999 and has already successfully shown him in a solo show at Art Cologne. The flat, illustrative qualities of these flowers are combined with hard-edged definitions and minimal modeling techniques. The artist's subtractive methodology allows him to remove the visual noise and focus on the essential elements with the utmost precision.
Alex Katz: The Flowers Portfolio features a kind of laconic botany that may appear slightly fragile as the invisible wind rips off leaves, creating a fluttering sense of dynamism, but these floral icons become immobile objects that take center stage in a field of color.
Goldenrod, a 35 x 47 inch print on Innova Etching Cotton Rag 315 gsm paper, illustrates a Japanese-like aesthetic - a painterly definition of space with philosophical sophistication; an appeal that was even once mentioned by the Tate Collection in reference to Katz's work. Goldenrod is a print with a darker color palette that echoes aspects of this Japanese style. Quick lashes of stylized yellow place leaves on defined stems as our eyes move diagonally along the flora.
The portfolio includes the works Red Dogwood, Purple Tulips, Peonies, Goldenrod and Azaleas on Yellow.
We are very pleased to present this new portfolio for the first time in Germany," says Frank Fluegel, owner of the gallery. "At the age of 94, Katz is at the peak of his career and still creating works of perfect sophistication. This is a great opportunity for collectors worldwide."
Alex Katz studied at Cooper Union in New York and spent a summer learning plein air painting at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture before he began exhibiting regularly in New York and other cities around the world. His work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the Fosun Foundation in Shanghai, among others. His works are in numerous public collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Tate, and fetch prices in the millions on the secondary market.
