Alex Katz is one of the forefathers of pop art in America and still very active at the age of 92. It is valued worldwide for its mostly large format portraits of sleek, timeless elegance. Katz is regarded as the master of the New York lifestyle and has created a comprehensive oeuvre with his paintings, drawings and prints, which has great individuality that has long completely redefined forms of abstraction and painterly commission. As "painting of the present form", as he puts it himself, he deals with his immediate living environment: his muse and wife Ada, his children and friends, as well as landscape impressions

The exhibition includes a cross-section of his prints, focuses on his most important motifs as well as some of the latest large-format prints such as the Coca-Cola Girls (2018). Especially in his prints, it becomes clear how Alex Katz works and how consistently he works on motifs: he reproduces, reflects and reduces them in numerous other work steps. At the same time, the color surfaces radiating from the depth, which are characteristic of his painting, are preserved. The synthesising effect of the printing techniques - primarily screen printing, aquatint and lithography - which the artist developed in close cooperation with well-known printers, supports the flat and the artificial in the reproduction of his motifs.
