Alex Katz : Milestones: At the Heart of Creation

A handsome book that traces the defining moments, key works and inner journeys that shaped Alex Katz

Alex Katz is widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in contemporary painting. Since the 1950s, he has pursued a clear visual language, defined by crisp contours, luminous colors, and flat surfaces, that has become inseparable from his name.

Far more than a retrospective, this book offers a close look at Katz’s enduring commitment to the painted image in examining its clarity and its power to shape the way we see. Featuring a rare interview conducted by Robert Storr and a rich selection of works, the volume explores the rigor, independence, and visual economy that have defined Katz’s practice, Milestone by Milestone, over seven decades.
