Alex Katz – In Good Company

In Good Company features both new prints and a host of works from Alex Katz's archives," states Lisa Burgess, President of New River Fine Art. "Once criticized for working with the figure when Abstract Expressionism was sweeping across the art world, Katz always forged his own path. His iconic style, stripped of all but the most essential elements, is now being reexamined and has found new appreciation among critics in light of his Guggenheim retrospective."
