Alex Katz: Purple Hat (Ada), 2017
View through Artsy
A portrait depiction of Ada, Alex Katz's wife and muse, whom Katz has depicted in over 200 pieces, Ada is the subject of some of Katz's best, and best-known works. The viewer is greeted by a porcelain white skin, which depicts whiter in the cold, her piercing almond-shaped eye, and her glamorous red lips. For Katz, she is everything: unattainable beauty and familiar confidant; aloof, unknown model and warm mother. A fashionable woman, matching her wool hat to the lilac geraniums on her scarf.
