• Alex Katz, master of the American landscape, stages shadows, light, and the play of reflections at close range in large format.
• Based on the oil painting “Reflections 5” from 2008 (Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris).
• The fascination of light: In both Katz's landscapes and his portraits, light is the true protagonist.
• Exciting contrasts: light and shadow, bright colors and deep blacks, visible brushstrokes and illusory landscapes, abstraction and figuration.
• In 2024, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others, honored Katz's landscape painting with the exhibition “Alex Katz. Seasons.”.
PROVENANCE: Meyerovich Gallery, San Francisco.

“Light should be the first thing you see; that’s what I’m after. People ask about color, but color doesn’t matter. I can change the colors as long as I have light. People think my colors are very unique, but they’re not – I look for light, first and foremost.”
Alex Katz, 2016
