"A little detail in an artwork can reveal that sometimes what is right on the surface can change our understanding of the whole." David Carrier's entire perception of 'Alex Katz: Gathering' at the @guggenheim was changed by a detail in the superb exhibition catalog, in which he studied the painting "Round Hill" (1977) and discovered one figure, a woman, is reading a paperback edition of Shakespeare’s 'Troilus and Cressida.' ⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio @hyperallergic⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Katherine Brinson.

“I learned from Paul that the one person you don’t want to bore is yourself.” —Alex Katz, 1997⁠ ⁠ 'Paul Taylor Dance Company' (1964)⁠ is reproduced from 'Alex Katz: Gathering,' published by @guggenheim⁠ ⁠ "A scenographic impulse runs through the work of Alex Katz," Kevin Lotery writes. "And to hear the artist tell it, the scene was set early on. In the opening paragraphs of his autobiography, Katz noted that both his parents were active in theater prior to immigrating to New York: his father once started an amateur theater group, and his mother achieved acclaim as an actor on the Yiddish stage, developing a theatricality she performed in her daily life as well. This last aspect—that life might be viewed as a performance set against the scenography of the everyday—may prove helpful in theorizing the role that the scenographic has played in Katz’s vast oeuvre. It reveals a peculiar doubling of living and making, a hinging together of biography and scenography, that might help us make sense of Katz’s near-lifelong collaboration with the dancer and choreographer Paul Taylor, which began in earnest around 1960."⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Katherine Brinson.
