Alex Katz

Jessica (cutout edition, weather vane)

A striking double-sided screenprint on aluminum, Jessica presents Katz's signature flat, bold depiction of a female figure rendered in his characteristically reductive yet vivid style. The cutout format gives the work a sculptural, three-dimensional presence, allowing the figure to rotate freely on its metal stand like a traditional weather vane. Katz's masterful use of color and clean, graphic lines transforms a simple portrait into an iconic object that blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture.
