The much-anticipated de Kooning biography. *** "The first major biography of de Kooning captures both the life and work of this complex, romantic figure in American culture. Ten years in the making, and based on previously unseen letters and documents as well as on hundreds of interviews, this is a fresh, richly detailed, and masterful portrait. The young de Kooning overcame an unstable, impoverished, and often violent early family life to enter the Academie in Rotterdam, where he learned both classic art and guild techniques. Arriving in New York as a stowaway from Holland in 1926, he underwent a long struggle to become a painter and an American, developing a passionate friendship with his fellow immigrant Arshile Gorky, who was both a mentor and an inspiration. During the Depression, de Kooning emerged as a central figure in the bohemian world of downtown New York, surviving by doing commercial work and painting murals for the WPA. His first show at the Egan Gallery in 1948 was a revelation. Soon, the critics Harold Rosenberg and Thomas Hess were championing his work, and de Kooning took his place as the charismatic leader of the New York school just as American art began to dominate the international scene. Dashingly handsome and treated like a movie star on the streets of downtown New York, de Kooning had a tumultuous marriage to Elaine de Kooning, herself a fascinating character of the period. At the height of his fame, he spent his days painting powerful abstractions and intense, disturbing pictures of the female figure--and his nights living on the edge, drinking, womanizing, and talking at the Cedar bar with such friends as Franz Kline and Frank OHara. By the 1960s, exhausted by the feverish art world, he retreated to the Springs on Long Island, where he painted an extraordinary series of lush pastorals. In the 1980s, as he slowly declined into what was almost certainly Alzheimer's, he created a vast body of haunting and ethereal late work. This is an authoritative and brilliant exploration of the art, life, and world of an American master. / Mark Stevens is the art critic for New York magazine. He has also been the art critic for The New Republic and Newsweek and has written for such publications as Vanity Fair, the New York Times, and The New Yorker. He lives in New York City. Annalyn Swan has been a writer at Time and an award-winning music critic and senior arts editor at Newsweek. She has written for The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, and New York magazine. She lives in New York City." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. SIGNED. Collectible.

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 piece, 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).

"The Museum of Modern Art honored Frank O'Hara with a memorial edition of his poetry illustrated by artists who knew and loved him-foremost among them, William de Kooning. De Kooning made his drawings on mylar which he then presented to the Museum. A quarter of a century later, the mylar drawings were transferred to lithographic plates and printed under the supervision of the artist and the Museum of Modern Art solely in order to illustrate the Club's edition of those O'Hara poems that had so moved de Kooning. Seventeen of de Kooning's eighteen charcoal drawings are reproduced here for the first time as originally intended-with their subtle strokes and wide tonal range. De Kooning's drawings were transferred from their original mylar sheets to lithographic plates and printed on hand--made ochre?tinted Kitakata paper. Each print was torn by hand and pressed into the book's pages by the intaglio method." (From the publisher). LEC Bibliography. HBS 69340. $2,750. Signed.

Hilliard, Life Trustee of the Art Institute of Chicago who headed the project. According to Mr. Hilliard, the deluxe books were sold, in good part, to buy an Indian sculpture in honor of Board Chairman James Alsdorf and his wife Marilyn. Per Hilliard: "There is a good story connected with the book. We sent a young man down to visit Georgia O'Keefe and ask for her agreement to participate. Georgia could be prickly, so we chose as our envoy a young man whose father had given her the land on which she had her house and studio. And indeed he was given a warm reception and tour. When they parted, Georgia said she would sign. but then added "If you will tell me the location of my painting that I gave to the Art Institute, 'East River from the Shelton.'" We were overjoyed and asked the American Arts Department to let us see it. As Georgia knew, it had presumably been stolen years before, and a full search could not locate it. But she relented (I think she enjoyed her joke) and signed the books anyway!" Printed and bound by RR Donnelley & Sons' Lakeside Press. Bound in very fine dark red Morocco leather with beautiful gold gilt on the page edges. In beautiful very fine condition. THE BOOK: The book measures 10.5" x 14."
