Lot 0032: AFTER WILLEM DE KOONING OIL PORTRAIT PAINTING

41 reviews

After Willem de Kooning, American, Dutch, German, 1904 to 1997, oil painting on paper, the painting depicts an expressionistic dark figure of a seated man. Signed lower right. Willem de Kooning is a leading artist and sculptor of the second half of the 20th century, one of the leaders of Abstract Expressionism. De Kooning used a variety of tricks to pump up the sensuously inviting tactility of his surfaces, including his famous wet on wet technique of mixing salad oil in the pigment, in order to make it slithery, fluid and receptive to sustained periods of work. One of a kind artwork.
