Alex Katz (born 1927 in Brooklyn, New York) is one of the most influential American painters and printmakers of the postwar era, celebrated for his distinctive style characterized by bold color, flattened forms, and striking compositional clarity. Over a career spanning more than seven decades, Katz has developed a visual language that merges elements of realism with a minimalist sensibility. His work frequently focuses on portraits of friends, family, and cultural figures, as well as landscapes rendered with luminous simplicity. Among his most iconic and recurring subjects is Ada Katz, the artist’s wife and lifelong muse, who has appeared in hundreds of paintings and prints throughout his career. These portraits often capture fleeting expressions or moments of quiet elegance, reflecting Katz’s interest in modern life, fashion, and the subtle psychology of portraiture.
The print Ada Ada (2025) continues Katz’s enduring exploration of this subject through a refined and technically sophisticated edition. The work is a 26-color silkscreen produced from hand-drawn films, demonstrating the meticulous layering process that characterizes Katz’s printmaking practice. Printed on 410gsm Somerset Tub Sized Rough Textured Satin White paper, the piece combines crisp graphic clarity with a rich tactile surface. Ada Ada is signed and numbered from an edition of 200 and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The sheet measures approximately 17 7/10 × 35 4/10 inches (45 × 90 cm.), and when framed the work measures roughly 21 9/10 × 39 2/5 inches (55.6 × 100.1 cm.), presenting a panoramic format that emphasizes Katz’s characteristic balance of elegance, minimalism, and contemporary portraiture.
