Lot Essay

"de Kooning sits there in the middle of the map of this century’s art like a great railway junction: lines arriving from various points above converge there; lines depart from there to spread out in various directions below” – D. Sylvester, quoted in Willem de Kooning Paintings, exh. cat., Washington, D.C., 1994, p. 25.
