Gagosian's spring exhibition, 'Willem de Kooning: Endless Painting,' showcases works from 1944 to 1986, emphasizing the cyclical motifs that characterize de Kooning's artistic journey. Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the exhibition uniquely presents pieces in a non-chronological manner, allowing viewers to experience the dialogue between works from different periods. Featured pieces include significant loans from major institutions and include both paintings and notable sculptures. Influenced by a previous Venice exhibition, this show seeks to illustrate the contemporary relevance of de Kooning's passion for painting.
The idea was to look back at a wider timeline for an exhibition that is not necessarily chronological, which has often been the case for De Kooning.
This exhibition really kind of skips and jumps and creates rhymes, some in different decades, examining de Kooning's exploration of figuration and abstraction.
