About the exhibitions
Alex Katz: A Life in Print
Selections from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
A major figure in the world of American figurative art over the past 60 years, Alex Katz is known for his large scale paintings, sculptures, and prints. His work has been the subject of more than 200 solo exhibitions and nearly 500 group exhibitions internationally since 1951. A Life in Print showcases a series of prints, dating from the late 1960’s to the present day, many of which have never before been exhibited.
FEMAIL
AMPM (2.0)
AMPM (2.0) is an expansion and reworking of FEMAIL’s installation at Out of Sight 2017 in Seattle. Contemplating on the idea of the shifting shape of self through time, and throughout life’s various circumstances, AMPM (2.0) represents the necessity of death for the purpose of rebirth into future forms of self, the shapes we shift through in the process, and the methods of travel we use to propel into new and exciting opportunities.
