Alex Katz - The Rowboat, 1966

Color screenprint on rose-toned wove paper, 1966
Limited Edition of 500 (only a small number, including the present work, were hand signed by the artist)
Given that this is such an early (1966) work, and it is one of only a small number known to have been signed - and still extant -- this is indeed a rare artifact.
Hand Signed by Alex Katz
This is an exhibition poster for a benefit sale held at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture from November 2- November 13 1966.
Boldly signed in black marker by Alex Katz lower right. The show featured 125 artists from across the United States.
The poster features Alex Katz' artwork "Rowboat"
Printed by Stephen Poleskie, Chiron Press, New York. Published by Fischbach Gallery, New York
The edition was limited to approximately 500 prints (unnumbered)
Provenance: Collection of Stephen Poleskie, Chiron Press
According to the artist, "The Rowboat image comes out of a collage. Next I did a painting of it and then by doing a print, this image was almost back into a collage," (Maravell, Alex Katz, The Complete Prints, New York, 1983, catalogue number 14).
