Vertu Fine Art has announced an online viewing-room presentation of Alex Katz’s ‘Chance’, a 2016 triptych offered for acquisition through the Boca Raton gallery. The presentation is a sales announcement rather than a dated public exhibition: the available material identifies the work, provides its production details and invites prospective buyers to contact the gallery for pricing and availability.
‘Chance’ is described as a 30-color silkscreen on Saunders Waterford 425 gsm paper. The work measures 70 by 46 inches, or 177.8 by 116.8 centimetres, and is listed as an edition of 50. The announcement calls the work a rare triptych, although it does not provide further information about the number of impressions currently available, its provenance or exhibition history.
The gallery’s presentation characterises the image through Katz’s use of bold colour, clean edges and what it calls an “effortless presence.” It describes the work’s monumental scale as transforming an intimate portrait into an immediate, cinematic image, while emphasising the simplicity and precision associated with the artist’s approach. Those descriptions are supplied by Vertu Fine Art as part of the work’s sales presentation.
The work’s format places the emphasis on seriality as well as scale. Its edition of 50 identifies ‘Chance’ as a multiple rather than a unique object, while the three-part structure gives the portrait an expanded visual format. The source material does not specify how the image is divided across the triptych, identify the sitter or explain the circumstances behind the title.
Vertu Fine Art’s website lists Alex Katz among its featured artists and includes other Katz editions, including ‘White Lillies 1’ from 2025 and ‘The Gathering’ from 2026. It also lists Katz’s ‘White Lotus’ works from 2023 among its available artworks. The gallery identifies its address as 922 Clint Moore Road in Boca Raton, Florida, but the ‘Chance’ announcement specifically directs viewers to an online viewing room and does not state that the triptych is on physical exhibition at that address.
The announcement was published on August 25, 2026. Vertu Fine Art is asking interested collectors to contact the gallery for further information about ‘Chance’, including its price and availability.
