Wie auch auf dem in dieser Auktion angebotenen Gemälde „Walk“ gibt Alex Katz auf dem vorliegenden kleinformatigen Gemälde mehr Umraum wieder, als er es bei seinen sonst sehr reduzierten Gemälde macht. Hier wird der Mittel zum Zweck dieses Vorgehens besonders deutlich. Zu sehen ist ein junger Mann, der in einem Kanu sitzt und vom Betrachter weg links in die Bildtiefe blickt. Mit routinierter Hand fängt er die Reflexionen des Kanufahrers auf der Wasseroberfläche ein und vermittelt so die Stofflichkeit des Umraumes.

Provenienz:
Robert Miller Gallery, New York (verso Etikett).
Paul J. Schupf.
