Hear from two de Kooning experts on the task of writing about the artist’s life and practice in the 1940s.
Mark Stevens, coauthor of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography De Kooning: An American Master (2004, coauthor: Annalyn Swan), and Stephen Mack, project manager of a forthcoming de Kooning catalogue raisonné, offer two different approaches to chronicling de Kooning's life and work in the pivotal years surrounding the artist's first solo exhibition. Introduced and moderated by Alexandra Foradas, Haskell Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
