Post-War and Contemporary Art from the Estate of Jordan & Cynthia Katz

Known for his bold and vibrant depictions of everyday objects, Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) often explored themes of consumer culture, sexuality, and the female form in his artwork. Bedroom Face with Tulip, a large work on paper from the Katz collection, exemplifies the artist’s distinctive style, featuring a graphic representation of a face alongside a tulip against the backdrop of a bedroom setting. Through the use of bright colors, simplified forms, and sharp lines, Wesselmann creates a visually striking composition that captures the essence of pop art's playful yet provocative aesthetic, and invites viewers to reconsider the familiar in a new light.
