 This exhibition premieres a series of
recent portraits of Katz's friends and family - Three People, 2009,depicts his
immediate family: Ada, his wife and lifelong muse, together with their son,
Vincent and daughter-in-law, Vivien. These large-scale yet surprisingly intimate
new works amply display Katz's bold clarity of vision and his emphatic use of
colour and line: his work has never been so powerful. In May to September 2010, the National Portrait Gallery in London will present a display of Katz's works, most notably an early and unusual three dimensional group portrait of Manhattan's literary and artistic party scene, "One Flight Up", 1968. Alex Katz has been the subject of over 200 solo exhibitions and been included in nearly 500 group shows internationally since 1951. Throughout his career, Katz has been the recipient of numerous awards and his work is held in over 100 public collections worldwide. Recently, Anthony D'Offay donated a group of works by Katz to the National Galleries of Scotland and Tate, as part of the nationwide Artist's Rooms project. Timothy Taylor Gallery was founded in 1996 on Bruton Place, Mayfair. In 2003, the gallery moved to a larger space at 24 Dering Street and continued to amass a strong UK and international client base.In October 2007, Timothy Taylor Gallery opened a new 2000 square foot space in Carlos Place, Mayfair. Located south of Grosvenor Square, the space and offices were designed by Eric Parry Architects. The gallery represents more than 20 established and emerging artists, and continues with an exciting, innovative and high profile programme of exhibitions.
