Alex Katz depicts his wife, Ada, in ‘‘The Black Dress’’ (1960).

Alex Katz American Artist associated with the Pop Art movement has a show coming up at the Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris. Terribly underrated during the earlier part of his career, he now has the recognition he deserves as a major American painter. Interestingly for us the show explores Fashion. “Fashion is dealing with the present tense and currents. Fashion is a no-no to people for whom the artist ‘creates beauty forever’ beauty is a constant factor and will always be there; It`s unstable when it comes to fashion, because it changes. Nothing is stable.” (Alex Katz)
