Hi , Alex Katz's auction record has climbed roughly 12.25% annually from $33,600 in 1984 to $4,152,917 today, set when Blue Umbrella I (1972) sold at Phillips New York in October 2019. His 2025 auction market brought in compelling results with 116 lots sold for $15.0 million in combined turnover.
Corinne is a portrait painted in Katz's signature style, large-scale, flat-color figuration with the cool, frieze-like composition that has defined his work since the 1960s. Featuring different scales and subject matters, portraiture, and the single-figure female portrait in particular, has anchored his auction market for decades and consistently produced his strongest prices at the top end. Katz has painted from the same SoHo loft he bought in the late 1960s and continues to work there daily at 98. His most frequent subject across nearly seven decades has been his wife, Ada del Moro Katz, whom he married in 1958 and has painted more than 250 times. Katz is represented by Gladstone Gallery and Thaddaeus Ropac. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum mounted his largest career retrospective to date, Alex Katz: Gathering, across the museum's full rotunda in 2022, and Tate St Ives followed with Quick Light in 2024. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney, Tate, the Centre Pompidou, the Guggenheim Bilbao, and the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
Corinne is available now with a total offering size of $500,000. Schedule your advisory call to review this opportunity and discover if art is a fit for your portfolio. Thanks, The Masterworks Team
