"In the summer of 2022 and for the first time in Spain, the museum presented a retrospective on the American painter Alex Katz (born in New York, 1927), one of the key figures in the history of 20th century American art and a precursor of Pop Art who is still active today.
The exhibition was curated by Guillermo Solana and Tomàs Llorens, the museum's Artistic Director and Artistic Director Emeritus, respectively, and has the support of the artist and his studio, who are closely involved in the project. The show will include some thirty large-format oil paintings accompanied by several studies, offering a journey through the artist's usual themes: his individual, double, and group portraits, along with his characteristic flowers and expansive landscapes painted with vibrant colors and flat backgrounds.
This catalogue contains the contents of that exhibition.
