The Suite includes a white cloth folio and a poem by Vincent Katz
This artwork consists of three panels, each illustrating delicate line drawings of flowers against a soft blue background. The composition is minimalistic yet elegant, capturing the essence of natural beauty through simple forms. Each flower, defined by bold, flowing lines, appears to dance lightly, highlighting the grace and fragility of blooms. The negative space around the sketches enhances their prominence, encouraging viewers to focus on the intricate details of each petal and stem. The consistent blue hue across the panels provides a soothing and cohesive visual experience. This piece is an exploration of nature's purity and simplicity, inviting contemplation and appreciation of understated elegance. Its unique approach lies in the interplay of line, form, and color, making it a captivating study of botanical subjects.
In connection with the ART BASEL MIAMI Beach 2025 exhibition, American artist Alex Katz has released a new edition of prints. The works, entitled “White Lilies," are now available at FRANK FLUEGEL GALERIE in Nuremberg and Kitzbühel.
In “White Lilies," the two flowers converge in the center of the etching, forming a single, intertwined shape. Katz recognizes that his latest flower paintings differ from his earlier depictions of this motif, saying, “They are more voluminous. They are more sculptural. Ultimately, they look as if they are blowing in the wind." Katz's flowers appear like cinematic close-ups and convey an impressive sense of immediacy. He typically works en plein air to create painted studies, which are then enlarged and transferred to monumental canvases in his studio. Using a “wet-on-wet" technique, in which paint is applied without allowing previous layers to dry, he works quickly to capture his impression of the scene. This method of painting is “Katz's way of staying true to the shock of the original perception," says poet and critic John Yau. “His subject is the presence of seeing, not something remembered at leisure."

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.
