The early work of artist Alex Katz (b. 1927) is the subject of a major new exhibition at the Colby College Museum of Art, on view from July 11 through October 18, 2015. Brand-New & Terrific: Alex Katz in the 1950s explores the first decade of the artists career, a period characterized by fierce experimentation and innovation from which Katzs signature style emerged. The exhibition is the first museum survey to focus on the artists output from this formative decade. Curated by Diana Tuite, Katz Curator at the Colby Museum, Brand-New & Terrific draws from the Colby Museums deep collection of artworks by Alex Katz and will include many rarely seen loans from the artist and other public and private collections. The Colby Museum is privileged to serve as a center for the exhibition and study of Alex Katzs art, said Sharon Corwin, Colby College Museum of Art director and chief curator.
