Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Inscribed by de Kooning on the front endpage, "love to Emilie, Bill". Very Good in a Good dust jacket. Some toning to endpapers as well as page margins. The price-clipped jacket has edge-wear including chipping and tears. Rear panel has a larger missing p…iece, measuring about three-quarters inch wide by one-quarter inch deep. Jacket spine rather heavily sunned, and with sunning to a lesser extent at all edges. Provenance: From the estate of Emilie "Mimi" Kilgore, who shared an important and well-documented relationship with de Kooning. The two met in 1970, and over the ensuing many years, Ms. Kilgore had a profound and vital impact on both the artist's life and his work. Sotheby's, in a nice write-up refers to her as "the woman who became his muse". In a letter to her, de Kooning states, ""I dedicate all of my paintings to you." He was entirely in love with Emilie -- invigorated by her sophistication, her relative youth, and her vibrant energy. In 1975, he asked Emilie to marry him -- an offer she declined, although they continued to remain close. Signed by Author(s).
