Alex Katz: The Woodcuts and Linocuts 1951-2001

Book Description
Alex Katz's very first prints included wood- and linocuts, but it was not until 1986 that he finally returned to the technique he had used 30 years prior. This book celebrates and reproduces in detail all of the woodcuts and linocuts that Katz has made since 1951, works that bring out the angular, awkward articulations, emotional ambivalence, and psychological complexity of his best work. All 78 prints are also reproduced in an informative color fold-out insert at the back of the catalogue. Essay by Merlin James. Foreword by Peter Blum. 8.5 x 10.75 in. 9 color, 13 b/w illustrations includes a color insert
