This imaginative global project was the brain child of London art dealer Kapil Jariwala: the brief was for seventy-seven leading artists from around the world to design neck tie mock-ups which were translated into textile format by Como, Italy’s Ratti silk factory. The project, in association with UNICEF, was supported by Gavin Aldred, owner of the Westzonegalleryspace, where the artwork for the project was exhibited, and Westzone Publishing Ltd. Artists such as the Chapman Brothers, Jeff Koons and Louise Bourgeois have each come up with a unique design for a necktie, and these have been produced in a limited-edition of 300 by Versace’s tie-maker. Independent, The (London), November 12, 2000. Alex Katz is one of America’s leading painters. His work has been the subject of nearly 200 solo exhibitions since 1954. His portraits and landscapes capture American life in a flat, elegant and realistic style all his own. Now 83, Katz is receiving increased attention with recent solo exhibitions in Milan, Paris, Finland, Grenoble and New York. Katz is best known for his images of individuals and groups, usually portrayed in social gatherings, that evoke a fashionable moneyed mileau and are rendered in a cool flattened style. His paintings are marked by a simplified line that emphasises forms and colours set against flat backgrounds. He began making figurative paintings in the late 1950’s when their iconic quality and emotional distance was totally against the grain of the emotionally heightened and gestural works of the Abstract Expressionists. In the late 1950’s he also made his first lino and woodcuts, beginning a life-long interest in printmaking. In 1986 the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY mounted a major retrospective of his work and he was also shown at P. 1, Museum, NY in 1998. His work is held in major American museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum, NY and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, and also the Tate Gallery, London, UK.
