ALEX KATZ - "JESSICA"

Alex Katz (born 1927) is an American painter born in Brooklyn and one of the great figures of American figurative art. Since the 1950s he has painted flat, cool, boldly coloured portraits and landscapes, often of his wife and muse Ada, in a crisp style that anticipated and paralleled Pop Art.

Ligne Blanche Paris brings these works off the wall and into daily life. Founded in 2007, the French house works with artists' estates and foundations to translate iconic images onto Limoges porcelain, perfumed candles and home objects — so a Warhol flower, a Haring figure or a Basquiat crown becomes something you live with, not just look at.
