Lot Essay

"The black seems to mean different things to different people. To me it was so much light in the front and dark in the back. Black is technically a very difficult colour to handle so that was a challenge and with the older black paintings I had some perfect surfaces and with these I don’t think I got perfect surfaces but they’re all different.”—— Alex Katz
