Ada with Sunglasses, from Alex and Ada, the 1960's to the 1980's

A bold and striking screenprint, Alex Katz depicts his wife and muse Ada in his signature flat, graphic style, her face rendered with minimal detail yet radiating a cool, confident elegance. The sunglasses add an air of glamour and mystery, obscuring her eyes while emphasizing her strong, iconic features. Created as part of the series chronicling their relationship across two decades, this work exemplifies Katz's mastery of color and form, bridging the worlds of fine art and American pop culture.
