Alex Katz: Gathering

Here's what I would do if I were Alex Katz (he's 95, just a year older than Andy would have been had he survived this long):  I'd get a wheelchair and take an elevator to the top of the Guggenheim Museum.

And then I'd roll down the spiraled gallery, taking in my life's work (it's hung chronologically with his earliest work at the bottom) and screaming "Wheeeeee!"
