Alex Katz - The Creative Director (Pharrell), 2025

---

 

Alex Katz’s portrait of Pharrell Williams marks a rare dialogue between two icons of contemporary culture. Created during a studio sitting in Katz’s SoHo loft, the work reflects a mutual respect between artist and subject—each known for redefining the boundaries of their fields. Pharrell’s distinctive personal style and presence resonated with Katz, whose decades-long commitment to capturing modern figures with clarity and restraint is evident in this singular portrayal.

Now released as a limited edition print, this piece underscores Katz’s continued relevance and influence in the 21st century. With its bold simplicity and cultural resonance, the edition offers collectors a unique opportunity to engage with Katz’s  timeless precision of his practice with the unmistakable presence of Pharrell Williams.
