The best-selling and critically acclaimed monograph on one of the most influential painters of the twentieth century, Willem de Kooning, who was a major exponent of Abstract Expressionism. MoMA's 2011 retrospective for de Kooning attracted record visitors, and his achievements continue to challenge and inspire subsequent generations of artists, such as Cecily Brown, Rebecca Warren, and Jonathan Lasker. This is the most extensive and comprehensive monograph available on the artist. Lavishly illustrated and productively made, the book includes his major works and periods, including the controversial "Women" series, as well as a rich collection of sketches and preparatory drawings. An illustrated chronology maps de Kooning's life, career, and work, with photos from the artist's archive scattered throughout the book, enriching the reader's understanding of the broader artistic context of his paintings. Judith Zilczer's critically acclaimed monograph is an essential addition to the libraries of a new audience and enthusiasts of de Kooning's works, offering an unprecedented and engaging examination of his work.
