For almost 50 years, American artist Alex Katz has painted a series of portraits of his wife, Ada. This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Jewish Museum in New York, is the first to focus on these iconic paintings. In this volume, leading scholars discuss both art historical importance of Katz's portraits, and address questions about his methods and intentions.
