Alex Katz (born in July 1927) is an American artist

Alex Katz is one of the world’s most sought-after American Pop Art artists. As an artist, Alex Katz experienced the heyday of „Abstract Expressionism“ and the beginnings of the Pop Art movement in America.

Alex Katz himself calls his art „contemporary painting“ – which is also to be understood in the art-philosophical sense

A statement that positions his works in the “here and now”. This always includes studies outdoors – perceived at the moment -, preparatory sketches and also the inspiration from photographic templates – from all of this, different drawings are created that prepare the respective work.

Popular topics came and will come from the immediate environment of the artist Alex Katz

Friends and family members of the artist (such as his wife Ada), people from his artistic environment and everyday life, but also landscapes, flowers and interacting people in architectural scenes can be found in his work. His actors play on the picture surfaces in his very own two-dimensional painting style, which, not least because of their surfaces and color divisions, stimulate ever new considerations.

Above all, his original graphics also show iconic, larger-than-life and stylish portraits of women. International collectors are enthusiastic about Katz’s modern form of realism, which does not cross the threshold to abstraction. Alex Katz always kept his vibrant color palette. As one of the outstanding artists of contemporary art

and as one of the pioneers of Pop Art, Alex Katz has inspired generations of artists worldwide through his art since the 1950s and until today.
