Night: William Dunas Dance 1-4/Pamela

This striking suite of five screenprints by Alex Katz captures the essence of movement and nocturnal atmosphere through his signature bold, flat planes of color and graphic precision. Depicting dancers from the William Dunas Dance company alongside the figure of Pamela, the works exemplify Katz's masterful ability to distill the human form into elegant, confident silhouettes against dramatically dark backgrounds. Each print bears a pencil inscription designating them as printer's proofs (2/5), outside the primary edition of 100 and 125 respectively, and was published by Jackie Fine Arts, Inc., New York.

Medium
all signed and numbered `PP' 2/5 in pencil (printer's proofs, the edition was 100 and 42 artist's proofs for prints 1-3 and 125 and 17 artist's proofs for print 4), published by Jackie Fine Arts, Inc., New York, all framed.
