Alex Katz at GAVIN BROWN'S ENTERPRISE
Loading...
Uploaded by jameskalm on Sep 25, 2011
James Kalm wouldn't miss this propitious debut of new paintings by Alex Katz at Gavin Brown's enterprise. With a career stretching back to the mid 1950s, Katz has had a knack for staying one step ahead of art world trends. Beginning his exhibition record on East Tenth Street, he moved to 57th Street to work with Marlborough, then to Chelsea for a decade with Pace/Wildenstein. This exhibition of large portraits and "Wildflower" paintings, a further distillation of signature subjects, marks the artist's return Downtown to Greenwich Village.

work that needs no critique. it speaks for itself. and it speaks in two syllable words.
-
i always hit it and never go back
-
this is not the abstract expressionist
-
I don't usually say this but amongst the great support and attendance of Mr. Katz's show.. BOOOOOOOOOOOORING. This work is special because it is "special."
-
This work of Katz Abstract Expressionist? Not really.

Your comments are right on target. I also enjoyed how you visit and re-visit pieces (in this show especially), because this is actually the first time I ever looked at Alex Katz' work and actually thought about it. The "it-is-what-it-is" factor is so overwhelming in his work that I never looked deeper, until your video today.

well ok i'll chiime in too. since you asked. I like Katz' work in general, because of his confident crafting of a picture in simple, workmanship-like ways, even though it's a bit formulaic as the other commenter said. I've seen a few of his paintings and I get the sense of receiving it all at once, barely needing a second look. They're happily decorative, stylish and so branded by now. And without cynicism, or even anguish. And sure, he's making dough but i feel he's still genuine.

Alex Katz is a good painter and I like your comments. Very helpful to hear you talking about the handmade qualities and sophisticated color etc.He is an expert brushstroke man. I like this work but also feel that the heads are so formulaic that I don't really need to see anymore of them. Not much new here.
