A fresh look at one of the most influential American artists working today, revealing drawing as the little-known engine of his endlessly inventive creative practice

Published with Colby College Museum of Art.

While widely celebrated for his large-scale paintings of family and friends as well as quotidian communions with the landscape, it is drawing that initially fueled Alex Katz's (born 1927) artistic ambitions and continues to permeate his practice in the present. Out of Sight considers the role drawing has played within the artist's oeuvre through focused attention on his preparatory sketches, drawings, collages, cartoon and scaling processes and a selection of closely related paintings spanning eight decades. Richly illustrated and featuring a range of contributors working across disciplines, the book reveals the extent to which this medium has facilitated Katz's singular vision.
