A dark-haired woman gazes directly at the viewer, her calm, simplified features modeled in warm apricot tones against a window frame painted in saturated golden yellow. Behind her, a deep cobalt night sky holds a glowing amber moon, framed by stylized, rhythmic leaf shapes in shades of navy, green, and blue. Her blouse bursts with vertical stripes in red, green, blue, yellow, and white, adding a joyful burst of color at the base of the composition. The image is printed on smooth paper with generous white margins, and the title “Alex Katz paintings” appears in elegant, hairline lettering beneath, followed by the gallery name, Bay Harbor Islands, Florida address, and exhibition dates of November 8 through 27, 1980. A clear protective sleeve covers the sheet. Cool, confident, and unmistakably Pop-inflected, the poster is both exhibition memorabilia and a bold, colorful graphic statement.

Display this poster in a living room, library, home office, or stairwell, ideally in a simple frame that lets the saturated color lead, or group it within a gallery wall of contemporary prints. It complements Contemporary, Mid-Century Modern, Pop Art, Eclectic, and Postmodern interiors. To care for it, keep it out of direct sunlight, heat, and humidity, dust only the protective sleeve with a soft dry cloth, and have it framed with archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing. The piece measures 24 inches (610 mm) wide, 0.5 inches (13 mm) deep, and 35 inches (889 mm) high. Condition is very good, with vibrant color, minimal wear, no visible tears, and some creasing to the sleeve. Bring home this colorful piece of art history today. See less
