*Black & White Dancer and Purple Dancer set* (2021) is a 1-color woodcut on somerset 300 gsm 2-color woodcut on somerset 300 gsm by Alex Katz, measuring 18 x 24 in each ; 45.7 x 61 cm each. Edition of 40. This work belongs to Katz's Dancers series, inspired by his decades-long collaboration with choreographer Paul Taylor. The body in motion becomes in Katz's hands a graphic event — flat planes of colour and precise outlines capturing a moment of extension, balance, or transition. Alex Katz (b. 1927, Brooklyn, New York) is one of the most significant American figurative artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His prints are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Tate Modern, and over 100 institutions worldwide. Works from the Dancers series are among the most actively traded in the contemporary prints market, with recent auction results at Christie's, Phillips, and Sotheby's confirming sustained collector demand.
