The Menil Collection is presenting an exhibition of works by the American abstraction expressionist artist Willem de Kooning (1904-1997).
He explores some of the many procedures underlying the artist's work and focuses on his shifts from painting to drawing and drawing to painting. Into the late 1980s when de Kooning stopped
working because of ill health, he regularly re-used and recycled his art works through various means of tracing and transferal.
Willem de Kooning: In Process, consisting of twenty paintings and eight drawings created between 1968 and 1988, was organized by The Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale. The show is curated by the noted art historian Klaus Kertess
