Alex Katz Coca Cola Girl 5 For Sale

About this work

Alex Katz has remained one of the most influential figures in contemporary American painting for over six decades, his work bridging the gap between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art while maintaining a singular vision that defies easy categorization. His flattened picture planes, bold color fields, and monumental treatment of everyday subjects have earned him a place in virtually every major museum collection worldwide, from the Museum of Modern Art to the Tate and the Centre Pompidou. Coca Cola Girl 5 belongs to a series that exemplifies Katz's enduring fascination with the American vernacular and the poetics of leisure. The work captures a figure in a moment of casual repose, rendered with the artist's characteristic economy of line and chromatic precision. Executed as a 20-color silkscreen on Saunders Waterford High White HP 425 gsm fine art paper, the technical complexity of this print demonstrates Katz's mastery of the medium—each color layer contributing to the luminous, sun-drenched atmosphere that has become synonymous with his aesthetic. The generous dimensions of 40 by 56 inches allow the image to function with the presence of his painted works, while the edition of 60 positions this print within Katz's careful approach to multiples. At 92 years old when this work was produced, Katz showed no diminishment of his powers, continuing to refine a visual language that has influenced generations of painters. His secondary market has demonstrated consistent strength, reflecting sustained institutional and collector interest. For acquisition inquiries, please contact Guy Hepner.
