The exhibtition catalogue brings together texts from artists thinkers and poets which offer
personal responses to Katz's work. It opens with a previously unpublished conversation between
Alex Katz and Hans Ulrich Obrist and a new poem written by John Godfrey. In her essay Ingrid
D. Rowland expands on Katz's unique approach to light and a conversation between artists
Marlene Dumas and Jan Andriesse gives an insight into their engagement with Katz's work over
time. Critic and writer Jan Verwoert's text explores Katz's understanding of depth and
perception and the artist Merlin James focuses on a single painting. The publication also
features archival reviews which highlight the changing opinions of Katz's work throughout time
and the influence of the cultural landscape on his practice.
