Alex Katz ‘Forest’ (1992) large-scale color aquatint on wove paper. A quintessential example of Katz’s flattened, cinematic landscape aesthetic, featuring rhythmic birch or poplar trunks against a vibrant green foliage background.

Alex Katz is currently experiencing a definitive market peak, sustained by his 2022-23 Guggenheim retrospective. This specific work, ‘Forest,’ is a high-yield asset because it bridges the gap between his iconic portraiture and his immersive ‘environmental’ landscapes. At 66 × 29 inches, it commands physical presence that rivals his original canvases.
