Continuing our Eikon series, Hamilton-Selway is proud to present Alex Katz: Timeless Subjects — a focused exhibition of portraits and florals.

For over half a century, Alex Katz has distilled the essence of modern life into crisp lines and bold color fields, becoming a defining voice in American contemporary art. Renowned for his portraits and landscapes, Katz strips away detail to focus on form, light, and flatness—what he calls “painting in the present tense.” His works capture fleeting moments with clarity and elegance, offering a cool, composed perspective on beauty, perception, and presence. With every brushstroke, Katz invites us into a world where simplicity speaks volumes.

In Timeless Subjects, we spotlight two of Katz’s most enduring themes: the poised portrait and the quietly powerful floral. His iconic muses, most notably his wife Ada, are rendered in pared-down compositions that convey elegance without embellishment. In his florals, Katz flattens natural forms against vivid backdrops, transforming still life into something graphic and commanding.

Across decades, his work reminds us that simplicity, when approached with clarity and confidence, can be the most timeless of all. Join us at Hamilton-Selway Fine Art for Alex Katz: Timeless Subjects on June 12th, 2025, from 6-8 pm. RSVP today to be among the first to experience our newest installment in our Eikon series—and to acquire an iconic artwork for your collection.
