    Lot Essay

    Elaine de Kooning, best known for her energetic portraits, invokes the same dynamisms using the vocabulary of Abstract Expressionism in her landscape works. Elaine de Kooning “was one of the American artists who helped advance the reputation of American art in the mid-20th century as innovative, brash and highly individualistic.” (Kim Sajet, Director, National Portrait Gallery)
