The serial and the sartorial: permutations of a motif in new portraits by Alex KatzPublished for the artist's 2021 show at Gray Chicago, Alex Katz: The White Coat debuts the latest series from Alex Katz (born 1927), titled Vivien in White Coat: 11 large-scale portraits depicting Vivien Bittencourt, the painter's daughter-in-law, wearing a radiant white coat. Using a palette dominated by white, black and pale blue, Katz radically crops and magnifies the figure from an array of dynamic perspectives within the picture plane. Balancing the specific and the abstract, the intimate and the remote, the geometric and the gestural, Katz positions the figure in space with deftness, brevity and sartorial elegance. Notwithstanding Katz's seriality, the white coat appears mysterious and enigmatic within each composition. Alex Katz: The White Coat features an essay by renowned curator and writer Jan Verwoert, 42 color illustrations and an artist's biography.

An introduction to the famous horse paintings that positioned Rothenberg as a virtuoso of 1970s American figurationSusan Rothenberg's (1945-2020) iconic horse paintings of the 1970s brought her much acclaim as a young painter and offered the artist an apt vehicle for her expressive gesture and keen understanding of the picture plane. This pivotal series remains the work for which Rothenberg is best known, and this in-depth volume offers readers the opportunity to explore these works alongside a foreword by artist Joan Jonas, an interview with artist Mary Heilmann and an essay by curator and scholar Michael Auping.As critic Hilton Kramer famously wrote of her work in Artforum in 1977, "Rothenberg ... has combined the elements of Degas' horses with Barnett Newman's vertical 'zips.' Which is an interesting combination of elements, to say the least. But it is in the quality of the painting itself that this artist makes her deepest impression." It was on the basis of these works that Rothenberg was featured in the seminal New Image Painting exhibition of 1974.
