ALEX KATZ Galerie Roger d'Amecourt, 1977

This original vintage poster was created for Alex Katz’s 1977 exhibition at Galerie Roger d’Amecourt in Paris, a key moment in the artist’s growing international acclaim. It features a defining early portrait of his wife and muse, Aida, shown from the neck up in profile. Her long blond hair flows gracefully, with twigs brushing her cheek, and her eyes are bright and open, framed by soft, expressive lashes. A gentle smile, with her mouth slightly open, conveys a fleeting moment of joy and contentment—captured with Katz’s signature style of flat planes, crisp outlines, and luminous color.

This serene and intimate image is a quintessential example of Katz’s modern portraiture—elegant, emotional, and timeless.
