Willem de Kooning: Paintings

This beautiful book presents a retrospective of eighty of Willem de Kooning's finest paintings and painted works on paper. The book reassesses de Kooning's critical status as one of America's greatest and most influential artists, examines the complexity of his painting techniques, and places him in the context of other artists and art movements of his era. The book serves as the catalogue for a major exhibition of de Kooning's work presented at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London.
