James Kalm wouldn't miss this propitious debut of new paintings by Alex Katz at Gavin Brown's enterprise. With a career stretching back to the mid 1950s, Katz has had a knack for staying one step ahead of art world trends. Beginning his exhibition record on East Tenth Street, he moved to 57th Street to work with Marlborough, then to Chelsea for a decade with Pace/Wildenstein. This exhibition of large portraits and "Wildflower" paintings, a further distillation of signature subjects, marks the artist's return Downtown to Greenwich Village.
