Alex Katz: Gathering

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Guggenheim, **Alex Katz: Gathering** surveys Katz’s sustained attention to faces, social circles, and the quiet theater of being together. The exhibition places his clean contours and flat color in dialogue with the museum’s spiraling architecture, where paintings and works on paper read like scenes caught mid-conversation. Katz has been a steady presence in New York since the mid-20th century, and this presentation sits within that local history rather than a one-off event. The work’s cool surface can feel detached, but it registers how quickly a moment of community becomes an image.
