Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is pleased to present the fifth grand project at its Pantin Space: a survey of works by American artist Alex Katz.
This monographic exhibition brings together some one hundred works and will include historic paintings from the 60s and early 70s, as well as more recent works from the 80s to the present day. There will be large-scale paintings, more intimate and cursory sketches, but also a less well-known and less often exhibited part of Katz's oeuvre: his 'cutouts'. These works, hung like a painting, are cut out of a painted metal support and have the appearance of autonomous silhouettes detached and floating in the composition to complete the autonomy of the figure.
