Descriptif du lot

"The black seems to mean different things to different people. To me it was so much light in the front and dark in the back. Black is technically a very difficult colour to handle so that was a challenge and with the older black paintings I had some perfect surfaces and with these I don’t think I got perfect surfaces but they’re all different.”—— Alex Katz
