Alex Katz's 2021 porcelain enamel sculpture "Porcelain Beauty 1" (edition 18/25) is being offered for sale through Palm Beach Modern Auctions. The work, measuring 24 by 20.75 inches and mounted on aluminum, was printed and published by Lococo Fine Art Publishing in St. Louis, Missouri, and comes with its original crate and installation brochure. Its provenance includes Vertu Fine Art in Boca Raton, Florida, and a private collection in Florida.
This listing matters because it represents a secondary-market opportunity for a limited-edition work by Alex Katz, a blue-chip American artist whose paintings have achieved million-dollar prices at auction and whose work is held by major institutions including MoMA, the Tate, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. The sale reflects ongoing demand for Katz's accessible, Pop-inflected figurative style and the broader market for editioned sculptures by established contemporary artists.
