Gagosian will host an exhibition titled 'Willem de Kooning: Endless Painting' in New York, showcasing the artist's exploration of figuration and abstraction from 1944 to 1986. Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the exhibition aims to highlight cyclical motifs throughout de Kooning's career, arranged thematically rather than chronologically. Featuring institutional loans and two sculptures displayed indoors for the first time in decades, the show draws inspiration from a past exhibition at the Gallerie dell'Accademia. It seeks to celebrate de Kooning's continued relevance and impact on contemporary art.
The exhibition will not be focused on one specific period or one specific chronology; it really kind of skips and jumps and creates rhymes.
Endless Painting features some institutional loans, including works from the Museum of Modern Art...which will be displayed indoors for the first time in 30 years.
The show at the Accademia was a major source of inspiration for Endless Painting, Alemani says, though it focused largely on the years 1959 and 1969.
He has the respect of many contemporary artists, because of the love that he really showed for the act of painting.
