Gladstone presents a group of new paintings by Alex Katz for Frieze New York 2024:

Alex Katz: after-image

“I had this idea that I wanted to paint an afterimage; it started with Matisse's Red Studio (1911), which is an afterimage. Supposedly, that is why Matisse painted the studio red, because he had been out in the garden on a bright day—outdoors in the green—and he walked in the door and got a flash of red. In my mind, I can see that red room, and that's where I am.”
