Press Release: "Painting Energy" Opening at the Portland Museum of Art May 2025

“There is no place, even in New York City, where one can currently see a representative selection of the exciting and important paintings that have been done from the 1980s to the present. By helping to create a collection of these works at the Portland Museum of Art, the Alex Katz Foundation hopes to contribute to rectifying this situation.”—Alex Katz
