Alex Katz Out of Sight: A Drawing Survey

A landmark exhibition focused on one of the most influential American artists working today, Alex Katz | Out of Sight unites drawings from across Alex Katz’s career, offering an intimate look at his creative process. Bringing together more than 70 works—including never-before-exhibited drawings from the artist’s personal collection, works from the Colby Museum collection, and select loans from private and institutional collections—the exhibition demonstrates the extraordinary range of Katz’s explorations on paper.

From preparatory sketches to presentation drawings, collages, cartoons, and a selection of related paintings, the show offers a rare opportunity to engage with a lesser-known yet essential facet of the artist’s practice. New research for the exhibition sheds light on his working methods and reveals the process of discovery, experimentation, and revision that has been a hallmark of his oeuvre for eight decades.
