Product Description: Coinciding with the Xth anniversary of its anauguration, we are happy to introduce this catalogue of the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum's Own Collection.

Dutch-born American painter Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) was a leader of the abstract expressionist movement. Inspired by Arshile Gorky to abandon the realist style that had dominated his work in the 1930s, he began experimenting with abstraction in the 1940s and quickly gained critical success.

Product Description: The artistic development of Willem de Kooning is explored here through a focus on his early drawings, many of which have never before been published, and most of which have not been on public view in decades. An accompanying text and chronology provide insight into de Kooning's ideas and the exhibitions and artists that might have influenced him during the 1930s-1950s...read more
