Silkscreen in colors on Saunders Waterford High White HP 425 gsm

'White Lilies 4' by Alex Katz is a silkscreen measuring 146.1 × 80 cm, depicting a single white lily at close range against a pale mint ground. The bloom fills the upper half of the vertical format, its recurved petals outlined in thin yellow lines and anchored by a cluster of dark brown stamens. A deep forest-green stem and broad leaf occupy the lower centre, with a second, partially open bud visible at lower right. Katz's characteristic flat colour and hard-edged contours reduce the flower to its most legible form without becoming diagrammatic. Known for applying the economy of Abstract Expressionist paint handling to figurative subjects, Katz brings the same graphic directness here that defines his portraits and landscape series — treating the lily as a study in shape and colour interval rather than botanical record.
