Alex Katz unveils the first-ever edition of his 1991 painting Ada Ada, now reimagined as a hand-crafted, 26-colour silkscreen print.

Ada Ada honours the artist’s muse, his wife, Ada Katz, who he has painted over 250 times since they married in 1958. The artwork was displayed as a key piece in Katz's major 2022 Guggenheim retrospective, Alex Katz: Gathering, cementing its status as one of his most prominent works. This edition, created in partnership with the Guggenheim to raise funds for the museum, marks the first time this painting has been offered as a limited edition print.

In close collaboration with the artist, Tom Murphy, founder of Make-Ready – our specialist fine art printmaking studio – crafted this intricate 26-colour silkscreen from hand-drawn films, a testament to the innovation that has shaped Katz's printmaking practice for over 60 years.
