Every year following, Katz would travel from his loft in SoHo to his 19th century farmhouse in Maine to work. Katz was inspired by the freedom and spontaneity of nature as well as Jackson Pollock’s use of space, which lead him to paint a series of all-over tree paintings. After his retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1986, he gave his full attention to the environmental flower and landscape paintings. Casterline|Goodman has put together an impressive collection of his flowers and landscapes over the past decade featuring Katz’s Tan Woods, Tiger Lily, Red Roses, Lily 1, and Pink Petunia #2.
