Until 11 September 2022, the temporary exhibition hall (ground floor) of the Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza is presenting for the first time in Spain a retrospective on the American painter Alex Katz (New York, 1927), one of the leading figures in the history of 20th-century American art and a precursor of Pop Art, who is still active today.
The exhibition is curated by Guillermo Solana, the museum’s artistic director, and has the support of the artist himself and his studio, who are following the project in detail. The installation brings together almost forty large-format oil paintings, accompanied by some studies, which allow us to take a journey through Katz’s usual themes: his solo, duplicate and group portraits, alternating with his recognisable flowers and enveloping landscapes with bright colours and flat backgrounds.
