Rockland, ME, April 6, 2017 — Artist Alex Katz, one of the world’s top artists, has created a new fine art print, Flowers 2, 2017, to benefit the Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) in Rockland, Maine. Published by Lococo Fine Art, the print measures 22 ¾ inches by 38 ½ inches, and features Maine wildflowers in yellow, orange, and lavender in an all over pattern against a white background. Printed in archival pigment inks on Crane Museo Max 365gsm paper in an edition of 100, each print is signed and numbered by the artist on the front. A limited number of prints remain available for purchase directly from CMCA at $2,000 each. The full purchase price of each print benefits CMCA. Contributions above the purchase price of the print are fully tax-deductible. Prints may be purchased online at cmcanow.org/shop or by calling 207-701-5005.
Known internationally for his iconic representational paintings, Alex Katz (b. 1927) has been a summer resident of Lincolnville, Maine, for more than six decades and is a longtime supporter of CMCA. He has called the new CMCA building, which opened to the public in June 2016, “a game-changer for Maine art.” Designed by noted architect Toshiko Mori, the striking new CMCA building features 5,500 square feet of exhibition space, an ArtLab classroom, gift shop, and public courtyard.
