This work is part of Katz's Vivien series — a body of portraiture that explores the human face through his characteristic language of flat colour planes and graphic economy. The Vivien works demonstrate his ability to extract profound formal interest from sustained attention to a single subject. 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.
