5.0 out of 5 stars de Koonings late work may be his best., April 22, 2000

Thanks to the efforts of his former wife Elaine, Willem de Kooning was able to enter his last productive period with growing confidence and originality. As a result his late work, in which his unique and beautiful touch and vision come into full flower, may be the best work he ever did. Some critics are dismayed or even offended by the late work, thinking it the result of manipulations by his dealer, assistants and Elaine, but the beauty and originality of these late canvases offer the best testimony against such views. This book is superb in it's organization, layout and printing, and the essays are convincing, eloquent and first-rate. Any lover of abstract art cannot dispense with owning this superb volume.
