Exhibition Information

			Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul's second exhibition since the gallery’s recent inauguration will centre around the major theme of flower paintings in the oeuvre of American artist Alex Katz. Opening on 9 December 2021, the exhibition will include previously unseen works from three of his flower series spanning the past two decades, as well as new portraits, shown for the first time, whose subjects are depicted in botanical settings. Alex Katz: Flowers will be the first exhibition in Asia entirely dedicated to the genre: ‘Korea has a great tradition of flower painting,’ says the artist, ‘and people seem to respond very strongly to my work here.’ It follows major surveys of Katz's work at the Lotte Museum of Art, Seoul in 2018, Daegu Art Museum, Daegu in 2019 and Fosun Foundation, Shanghai in 2020.
