Alex Katz Study for Summer 1 For Sale

*Study for Summer 1* (2004) is a oil on board by Alex Katz, measuring 9 x 11 7/8 inches. This work is part of Katz's Nature series, rooted in his six decades of summers in Lincolnville, Maine. The landscape, filtered through his formal intelligence, is distilled to its essential visual fact — forms simplified, colours intensified, the scene compressed into a single resolved image. 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 Nature 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.
