Alex Katz Exhibits Landscapes at PaceWildenstein and Cartoons at Peter Blum in 2003
Alex Katz's artistry is showcased in two exhibitions in New York City. "Alex Katz: Flowers & Landscapes" at PaceWildenstein presents natural and floral imagery, featuring works like "Yarrow" (2002) and "Grey and Green" (2001), available to view until November 8, 2003. Meanwhile, Peter Blum's "Alex Katz: Cartoon" displays fifteen preparatory sketches for larger paintings, which will remain unframed until November 15. Katz, who has been creating since the 1950s, is known for his ability to combine perceptual observation with meticulous execution, often finishing large works in a single sitting.
