De Kooning: A Retrospective

De Kooning: A Retrospective is the first major MoMA's exhibition (New York, USA) devoted to the full scope of the career of Willem de Kooning. The exhibition, which brings together more than 200 workds, presents opportunity to study the artist’s development over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s.

Representing nearly every type of work de Kooning made, in both technique and subject matter, this retrospective includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints. Among these are the artist's most famous, landmark paintings—among them Pink Angels (1945), Excavation (1950), and the celebrated third Woman series (1950–53). Also included is de Kooning's famous theatrical backdrop, Labyrinth (1946).
