Alex Katz | Milestones Collection

Alex Katz is widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in contemporary painting. Since the 1950s, he has pursued a clear visual language, defined by crisp contours, luminous colors, and flat surfaces, that has become inseparable from his name. Far more than a retrospective, this book offers a close look at Katz’s enduring commitment to the painted image in examining its clarity and its power to shape the way we see. Featuring a rare interview conducted by Robert Storr and a rich selection of works, the volume explores the rigor, independence, and visual economy that have defined Katz’s practice, Milestone by Milestone, over seven decades.
