This stellar presentation of four decades of Katz's strongly figural output is the result of a collaboration between the artist and Sandler, the eminent art historian and curator who authored the first major monograph on Katz in 1979. Early in his career, Katz (b. 1927) came under Abstract Expressionism's spell but clung to his trademark flat representational portraits of ordinary people and spare landscapes. In the closing chapters, Sandler deftly captures the robust inventiveness of Katz's 1990s oeuvre by enjoining a judiciously trenchant text to full-page color reproductions.
