Double Ada

The Ultimate Icon of "New York Cool" Alex Katz's Double Ada (2015) serves as a monumental testament to the most enduring partnership in modern art history. Since his first portrait of his wife, Ada Del Moro, in 1957, Katz has elevated her image into a global symbol of mid-century sophistication—standing alongside the legendary pop icons of Warhol and Lichtenstein.

Breaking the Canvas: The Freestanding "Cut-Out" In this striking freestanding sculpture, Katz utilizes his pioneered "cut-out" technique to liberate the figure from the traditional rectangular canvas. By allowing Ada to inhabit the viewer's physical environment, the work bridges the gap between painting and three-dimensional space.

Cinematic Perspective & Environmental Sculpture Double Ada employs a multi-angle, cinematic approach to portraiture. Executed with Katz's signature flat planes of color and minimalist, reductive lines, the work represents the pinnacle of his exploration into "environmental" sculpture—a medium the artist has refined since 1959.

This rare, large-scale editioned work offers collectors a significant opportunity to acquire a three-dimensional iteration of the artist's most celebrated and recognizable subject.
