Alex Katz’s Summer Flowers, 2018 is a spectacular large-scale work that transforms the artist’s celebrated floral imagery into an immersive panorama of color, movement, and light. Measuring an extraordinary 111 inches—over nine feet—across, the composition surrounds the viewer with sweeping stems and brilliant yellow, orange, lavender, and green flowers set against Katz’s crisp white ground. The remarkable scale gives the work an immediate architectural presence, making it particularly compelling in a significant contemporary interior.

Executed with enamel-based silkscreen inks on gessoed canvas, Summer Flowers possesses a richness and physical presence that distinguishes it from a traditional work on paper. The gessoed canvas provides a luminous surface for Katz’s saturated colors and characteristically economical brush-like forms, while the silkscreen process preserves the clarity and graphic precision for which his work is celebrated. Hand-signed by Alex Katz in silver ink and numbered from the exceptionally limited edition of only 35, Summer Flowers combines rarity, monumental scale, distinctive materials, and one of the artist’s most recognizable subjects. It is an exceptional statement work and a particularly impressive example of Katz’s enduring exploration of flowers, color, and the beauty of the natural world.
