WILLEM DE KOONING: TRACING THE FIGURE
For the first time, Willem de Kooning: Tracing the Figure presents a
comprehensive survey of de Kooning's drawings of the female
form, from his 1938 surrealist-inspired portraits of Elaine de
Kooning and Julie Brauner to his 1955 drawings when the figure
dissipates into the landscape and abstraction. Together, more
than 70 assembled works on paper show the artist's struggle to
eliminate traditional barriers between drawing and painting. The
exhibition is organized by MOCA chief curator Paul Schimmel and
MOCA curator Connie Butler and is accompanied by a fully
illustrated catalogue.
Willem de Kooning: Tracing the Figure is made possible in part by
Audrey M. Irmas, Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, and
Betye Monell Burton.

LEE FRIEDLANDER: SELECTED PORTRAITS
Lee Friedlander: Selected Portraits presents images of children,
friends, and celebrities within scenarios that are spatially unusual
and visually clever. Although less known for his intimate
depictions of people, such portraits have been a component of
Friedlander’s oeuvre since the late 1950s when he first worked
commercially photographing jazz musicians for album covers.
Selected from the 1985 portfolio Lee Friedlander Portraits, these
works span the years 1957 to 1983 and represent one of 10
Friedlander portfolios in MOCA’s permanent collection.
