Artist Alex Katz and choreographer Paul Taylor collaborated on 15 works. In conjunction with the Guggenheim Museum’s retrospective Alex Katz: Gathering, Works & Process will present a performance by the Paul Taylor Dance Company in the Guggenheim rotunda. Selected by Michael Novak, Paul Taylor Dance Company Artistic Director, Polaris, a 1976 collaboration between Taylor and Katz will offer audiences a unique and unprecedented opportunity to see the performance—normally shown on a proscenium stage—up close and from 360 degrees. On October 27, a special conversation moderated by Novak with distinguished Taylor alumnae Carolyn Adams and Susan McGuire, who created works with Taylor and Katz, will take place at the New York Library for the Performing Arts, hosted by Works & Process and the library’s Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
