Thaddaeus Ropac Shows Alex Katz Paintings From 1990s to Present in Seoul
On June 2, 2026, Thaddaeus Ropac presented an exhibition of paintings by Alex Katz at its gallery in Seoul. The works on view date from the 1990s to the present and depict recurring subjects including friends, flowers and forests rendered as quick studies painted directly from observation. Floral studies are displayed with pieces from the recent Lilies series.
The Signal
The Seoul presentation illustrates how Katz's immediate observations develop into his characteristic bold, simplified forms. For collectors and curators the show provides direct evidence of thematic continuity across more than three decades of the artist's output. It also signals Thaddaeus Ropac's ongoing focus on placing established postwar painters in the Asian market.
