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 It opens with a previously unpublished conversation between Alex Katz and Hans Ulrich Obrist and a new poem written by John Godfrey.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.
