- 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.
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.
love this!
i love these openings and wish we had a lot more of these open to the puplic in london, i like the videos james
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.
Good see Chuck's doing well.
See Alex Katz at the Serpentine Galleries on The Art Channel
was the video at 10:35 a set up,,,
@hellorodney Yes Rodney!
apropos art dealers vs. the art making process: Horror Endorsement from a notorious art dealer and her call for exploitation: "One has to be evil, downright evil!" quote Eva Presenhuber; We publish these embarrassing statements because we are not the only ones who have been closely following this worrying development in the art market for some time. Former director of Presenhuber gallery: “She’s the type of person who will finish your sentences for you, she won’t let you finish talking. Is there any clearer proof of hubris? Still, she feels very good about it. Eva Presenhuber is rather a special kind of person. I think the best word to describe her would be sociopath. She has been repeatedly made aware that she treats some artists (who depend on her sales activity) like shit. There's no remorse, she wouldn't even know what you were talking about!" Eva Presenhuber is the Harvey Weinstein of the art world. But male artists don't run to the police, even if a gallery owner maliciously molests them. Eva Presenhuber brutally bullied Hugo Markl. If anyone has information on where to find Hugo Markl, please let us know! Hugo Markl has disappeared, we don't know if he is still alive. The puppet master behind this extermination campaign is Ugo Rondinone. (Ex-husband of Eva Presenhuber) sic! Hugo Markl is definitely one of the most influential artists today. The works of a number of artists are directly or indirectly influenced by Markl's works. One should not look for banal copies of copyists, but for an attitude that made Markl's works irrefutably the foundation of their works of art. Markl's work is uncompromising and addresses the center of issues, and we think that getting rid of Markl's influence, consciously or subconsciously, could be extremely difficult for many artists. His work is powerfull if we like it or not. And at the same time hardly any influence is so fought and controverted (or would it be more honest to say denied) by other artists as the influence of Markl's stand on these days art. The manner in which contemporary artists are exploited can be equated with the most brutal psychological abuse of any other derogatory relationship, certainly one of the bloodiest lines of business there is. Of course, [all] carefully hidden behind the mask of the finest, most human and most sensitive of all motifs, namely art.
i always hit it and never go back
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."
looks like he goes around looking for younger versions of his wife
This work of Katz Abstract Expressionist? Not really.
this is not the abstract expressionist
