Alex Katz – Night

Alex Katz’s Night (1994), from the Northern Landscapes series, captures the experience of gazing upward through tree branches into the night sky. Deep blacks dominate the fine art print's composition, punctuated by luminous blue highlights that suggest moonlight flickering through leaves. This atmospheric woodcut evokes both stillness and quiet intensity, characteristic of Katz’s minimalist approach to landscape. Printed on Japan paper and issued in an edition of 100, each print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

Alex Katz is a seminal figure in postwar American art, best known for a bold figurative style that emerged in deliberate contrast to Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s. His artworks are characterized by flattened forms, vivid color fields, and precise compositions that merge abstraction and representation, resulting in a distinctive type of modern realism. Katz’s paintings and prints often depict portraits, landscapes, flowers, and everyday scenes, translating contemporary visual culture into a highly recognizable artistic language.

Printmaking has been central to Katz’s practice for decades, making his signed limited edition prints an essential part of his oeuvre. Working across silkscreen prints, linocuts, lithographs, etchings, and fine art prints, he has consistently used editions to refine and disseminate his imagery. These limited edition prints and fine art prints retain the clarity, scale, and immediacy of his paintings, positioning Katz’s prints and artworks among the most influential and enduring works on paper in contemporary art.
