de Kooning: A Retrospective

On View September 18, 2011–January 9, 2012 at The Museum of Modern Art, NY

By , About.com Guide


de Kooning: A Retrospective is a fascinating overview of how Willem de Kooning evolved artistically from a classically trained Dutch teenager, to a progressive artist in the New York City neighborhood of Greenwich Village, to a living American legend out on Long Island. The exhibition includes more than 200 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures from public and private collections. In other words, it is as large as it is a treat for Modern art lovers.

de Kooning: A Retrospective is on view at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from September 18, 2011 until January 9, 2012. It will only be shown at MoMA.
