On the occasion of Alex Katz' 2012 monumental print retrospective at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the artist authorized the Museum to publish a very limited edition of reproductions of his 1966 silkscreen "Beach House" - one of the earliest prints Alex Katz ever made. (The original work was printed by Chiron Press, New York and published by Fischbach Gallery in New York -- Alex Katz' gallery of record during that era. It was based upon a collage Katz did in the late 1950 - and measured only about 5 by 4 inches. ) The present print - at 16.1 x 20 inches, is notably larger than the original. It is unframed. It has been opened for photography and inspection, but otherwise is held in the original board with a sales label from the Museum of Fine Arts, along with a label from the Bentley Arts Group which made this high quality reproduction. It is so well made and seemingly authentic - our own gallery staff didn't realize it was a reproduction! Needless to say, the Museum sold out of this limited edition commemorative print almost immediately, and they made no other editions as this was a one-off authorization exclusively to promote Katz' print retrospective.

Unframed and in very good condition. Plate signed and numbered 40/50.
