Today is Willem de Kooning’s birthday! He would have been 105.
On the occasion of the Museum of Modern Art’s tremendous 2011 John Elderfield-curated de Kooning retrospective, de Kooning co-biographer Mark Stevens came onto The Modern Art Notes Podcast. Stevens and his co-author Annalyn Swan won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for their biography of the artist, “de Kooning: Am American Master.” So far as I know, this program marked Stevens’s first thoughts on the exhibition.
“They’re very separate for me,” Pace artist, Yoshitomo Nara told ARTINFO through a translator when asked about the differences between drawing, painting, and sculpting. “I never make a drawing as a base for a painting. I never do a painting for a sculpture. For me, drawing is the one I love the most and it’s very distinct.”
Entitled “SOL LEWITT: On the Walls of the Lower East Side,” the outdoor installation, on one of the hotel’s walls near its Lafayette Street entrance, marks the first time this body of work will be exhibited in New York.
