Original 1994 Alex Katz Tree Branches Charcoal Drawing Study SIGNED Provenance

This listing is for “Tree, 1994” by Alex Katz (American, b. 1927) pictured above. About this work:A wonderful original drawing by esteemed American artist Alex Katz (b. 1927).This work depicts a portion of a tree with jagged branches, which is a subject that Katz would often visit in his later paintings. The simplification of form and bold shading reflect his signature graphic style. For Katz, drawing was a place where his vision could be explored, structured and recorded. It also served as a tool of immediacy, enabling him to capture the present moment in line, tone and surface.This work is charcoal on paper and is signed/inscribed in the lower right. There is an unsigned drawing on the reverse (possibly by a different hand). It is matted and framed behind glazing. Paperwork related to the work’s creation at the Atlantic Center For The Arts is included on the back of the frame (Alex Katz was a special guest in January, 1994). Original, unique works by Katz are rarely available at acce
