Alex Katz: 60 Years of Printmaking Whitewhall highlights this exhibition amongst the top five summer shows in Paris
By Harriet Engelke
With the 2024 Olympics a mere two weeks away, it’s an especially busy summer in Paris. Whitewall highlights some of the top summer shows on view this July.
At Thaddaeus Ropac’s converted factory building space, the gallery presents their first retrospective of Alex Katz’s past 60 years of printmaking. Known for his unique contemporary eye that first appeared in galleries in 1954, Katz lets his measured and reflective process shine through in his prints. The show includes various prints that span over the past six decades, from vibrant portraits to moving landscapes and seascapes.
60 Years of Printmaking pays a special homage to Katz’s thriving eye for innovation and continuous growth. The show features some of Katz’s first prints, including the 1965 piece Luna Park 1 and his other notable productions stemming from the Pop Art movement. With each print, the exhibition emphasizes Katz’s contribution to contemporary American art, a dedication and innovative eye that persists today.
