About the Work
"Pas de Deux I (David Salle and Janet Leonard)" is a serigraph created by Alex Katz in 1994 for his "Pas de Deux" series. From the edition of 150, the artwork is signed 'Alex Katz' and annotated lower left. The image size is 36 x 20", and the artwork is framed in a contemporary black frame. The artwork ships framed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
The images in the series are based on the artist’s monumental oil painting of the same name from 1983, now held by the Colby College Museum of Art in Maine.
The "Pas de Deux" series depicts five ‘power’ couples from the 1980s art world. In each couple, the women are wearing coats by the famous designer Norma Kamali while the men are in sharply tailored suits. The emphasis is on style with Katz’s trademark ‘cool’ obliterating any clues to meaning. Katz noted the importance of style over substance in his artistic expression stating, “Style and appearance are the things I’m more concerned about than what something means… I’d like to have style take the place of content, or the style be the content… I prefer it to be emptied of meaning, emptied of content.” (Richard Marshall. “Sources of Style” Exhibition Catalog, New York, Whitney Museum of American Art, Alex Katz, New York, 1986, p. 13).
This work is published by Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts, an affiliate of Martin Lawrence Galleries, no prior ownership.
