(b.1927) is one of the most important American artists alive today. The exhibition includes landscapes and collages from early in Katz’s career and continues through the 1960s and beyond with his hallmark paintings — enormous, brilliantly-colored portraits of his family and friends. The exhibition draws on the Whitney’s large holdings and is augmented with works from NCMA’s own permanent collection and some on loan from other art institutions.
Nassau County Museum of Art is offering several programs in conjunction with this solo exhibition:
Alex Katz: What About Style?, a 56-minute video, is screening daily at 11 a.m., 12 p.m, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The film is free with museum admission.
Also free with admission are the daily 2 p.m. exhibition tours as well as lunchtime lectures on Katz’s work offered on July 25, August 22 and September 26.
On October 12, the influential art critic Bill Berkson offers insights on Katz’s painting. For details on these and other events, visit .
Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors (62 and above) and $4 for students and children (4 to12). Members are admitted free.
