Held in 2004 in celebration of what would have been the artist’s one hundredth birthday, the exhibition included thirty-nine paintings spanning five decades, from 1946 through 1988. Curated by David Whitney, it focused on de Kooning’s abstraction, including Surrealist-influenced works of the 1940s, landscapes of the 1950s and 1960s, gestural paintings of the 1970s, and luminous canvases of the 1980s. The catalogue contains color plates of the works interspersed with illustrated essays by art historian Richard Shiff, former Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam director Edy de Wilde, and de Kooning’s former studio assistant Tom Ferrara. Five previously published interviews with the artist by Storm de Hirsch (1955), Selden Rodman (1957), David Sylvester (1960), Harold Rosenberg (1972), and Gaby Rodgers (1978) are also included, alongside a selected biography and bibliography."
