Alex Katz's "Bicycle Rider" is a seventeen-color lithograph created in 1982, reflecting the artist's distinctive approach to portraiture and contemporary urban life. The composition depicts a cyclist riding against a backdrop of green foliage, a subject that demonstrates Katz's ability to translate ordinary moments into vibrant, distilled images. Through the use of bold color and flattened form, the work captures both motion and stillness, qualities central to Katz's broader practice.
This impression is numbered 4/250 and signed by the artist in graphite at the lower left corner, underscoring its authenticity and status as part of a limited edition. It is accompanied by a gallery Certificate of Authenticity, which documents its provenance and confirms the artist's direct involvement in its production. "Bicycle Rider" is included in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, attesting to its significance within Katz's oeuvre and within the history of late twentieth-century American printmaking. The work was also featured in the exhibition Facing the Figure: Selected Works from the Collection, 1962–2007 at The Met, situating it within a larger dialogue on contemporary approaches to figuration. "Bicycle Rider" is confirmed in Katz' catalog of printed works: Schroder 154; Maravell 130.
As a subject, the solitary figure in motion exemplifies Katz's continued exploration of how images of everyday life can be transformed into enduring statements on modern experience. Its recognition by major institutions underscores its place in the narrative of American art of the postwar era.

Presentation
Alex Katz was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1927 from Russian parents. In 1946, Katz entered The Cooper Union Art School in Manhattan, a prestigious college of art, architecture, and engineering.
Alex Katz is a figurative artist. He is known for paintings, sculptures and prints and is represented by numerous galleries internationally. His paintings are divided almost equally into the genres of portraiture and landscape.
Katz's first one-person show was held at the Roko Gallery in 1954. Katz had begun to develop greater acquaintances with the New York School and their allies in the other arts. From 1955 to 1959, usually following a day of painting, Katz made small collages of figures in landscapes from hand-colored strips of delicately cut paper. In the late 1950s, he moved towards greater realism in his paintings. He embraced monochrome backgrounds, which would become a defining characteristic of his style, anticipating Pop Art and separating him from gestural figure painters and the New Perceptual Realism. In 1965, he also embarked on a prolific career in printmaking. Katz would go on to produce many editions in lithography, etching, silkscreen, woodcut and linoleum cut.
Alex Katz's work has been the subject of more than 200 solo exhibitions and nearly 500 group exhibitions internationally since 1951. Katz has received numerous accolades throughout his career. In 2007, he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy Museum, New York. In 2005, Katz was the honored artist at the Chicago Humanities Festival's Inaugural Richard Gray Annual Visual Arts Series. The same year, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Colgate University, Hamilton, New York— his second Honorary Doctorate, following one from Colby College, Maine, in 1984.
Works by Alex Katz can be found in over 100 public collections worldwide. Most notably, those in America include: Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo; The Art Institute of Chicago; The Brooklyn Museum; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Des Moines Art Center; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and many others.
