Gary Garrels

Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and scheduled to appear as well in museums in Bonn, Rotterdam, and New York during 1996 and 1997. Until now, the 1980s paintings have been seen only in a handful of gallery exhibitions or in the context of large museum surveys; this presentation allows study of the distinguishing qualities of these late paintings, and the thoroughly researched essays explore the complex issues surrounding de Kooning's affliction with Alzheimer's disease.

The Late Paintings, the 1980s

This catalog is the first to examine in depth Willem de Kooning's use of vellum and charcoal transfers in his artistic process. The way de Kooning copied from his own drawings and paintings to create new works of art is ingeniously illustrated through vellum overlay inserts.

Richard Shiff

"'Order to me is to be ordered about", Willem de Kooning said. Between Sense and de Kooning is an exploration of how de Kooning both worked and thought concerning art, while respecting the artist's own ambiguities and his reluctance to embrace categorical distinctions between representation and abstraction. Richard Shiff acknowledges de Kooning's idea that art is not about concepts like progress or development, but is instead a sensory phenomenon.

This publication offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the development of the artist's work as it unfolded over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland before he moved to the United States in 1926, and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s.

Printer's Proofs from the Collection of Irwin Hollander, Master Printer

From the dust jacket: This volume reproduces in exact size twenty-four charcoal drawings, which were executed by de Kooning in 1966. This is a unique and invaluable record of the extraordinary draftsmanship of one of America's leading artists. These facsimiles of his figure drawings were produced with unusual care and fidelity to the originals.
