The exhibition “Sunrise” by Alex Katz is the latest iteration by the 95-year-old artist’s ongoing series he refers to as ‘splits.’ Using a cut-up technique he blends inspiration from Manet’s pictures of women in hats in the sun, the fractured imagery from early cubism as well as the ‘cheap’ quality in Fassbinder’s Beware of a Holy Whore, these large-scale immersive portraits of Sunrise Coigney encapsulate the fleeting nature of the gaze inside everyday life.
