Large and Spectacular Classic De Kooning Oil

This is a well-framed superb and classic oil attributed to Willem De Kooning. There is a Guggenheim Museum certificate verso that suggests that at some point in time it was contributed to and then archived by the Guggenheim Museum. There is a significant Caracas Museum of Contemporary Art inventory and authentication certificate verso signed by the Museum’s director, Sofia Imber where it is known to have been on display prior to being archived and sold in order to help fund the museum’s operations. It is not known how its acquisition was funded or who actually benefited from its sale.
