Join the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Schindler House, for the opening reception Alex Katz: Sunrise. The exhibition is the latest iteration by the 95-year-old artist’s ongoing series he refers to as ‘splits’. Using a cut-up technique he blends inspiration from Manet’s pictures of women in hats in the sun, the fractured imagery from early cubism as well as the ‘cheap’ quality in Fassbinder’s ‘Beware of a Holy Whore,’ these large-scale immersive portraits of Sunrise Ruffalo encapsulate the fleeting nature of the gaze inside everyday life.
This event is free and open to the public. No RSVP required. Refreshments will be served.
This exhibition is presented with support from Gladstone Gallery.
