Alex Katz — White Lotus For Sale

White Lotus Prints by Alex Katz | Buy & Sell | Guy Hepner

The White Lotus series draws from Katz's six decades of summers in Lincolnville, Maine — a landscape that has fed his work as profoundly as the human face. The white lotus flower, observed with the same patient intensity he brings to his portraiture, becomes in Katz's hands both a botanical study and an exercise in pure form: petals reduced to planes, stems to lines, the whole distilled to an image of quiet radiance.

About the Series

These works sit within Katz's broader engagement with the natural world — a body of work that spans grasses and wildflowers, dawn light on water, and the particular quality of northeastern American summer. The lotus compositions are among the most formally spare, using white against white with extraordinary tonal subtlety. They reward close attention: what reads from a distance as almost abstract reveals, on approach, precise observation of petal weight and angle.

Collecting White Lotus Works

The White Lotus series appeals to collectors who respond to Katz's nature work as much as his figure painting. These editions tend to be more accessible in price than the major Ada or Vivien portraits, while representing the same mastery of reduction that defines his practice.
