"Featuring dozens of her postmodern portraits, drawings, and
archival photos, this book explores [de Kooning's] artistic
process, while also examining her place within the art world and
her influence on other women artists."
-Interview Magazine
"Though her portrayal of John F. Kennedy is perhaps her most famous
work, de Kooning depicted many subjects . . . Those portraits-- -
both abstract and figurative-- - are collected in this book, which
has a wealth of full-color reproductions of paintings, drawings,
and archival photos. With reflections on de Kooning's process and
her place in Postmodernism, Elaine de Kooning: Portraits is an
important addition to literature not just on the artist, but also
on Abstract Expressionism and female artistry"
-The Boston Globe
"The insightful new book . . . demonstrates how enormously talented
Elaine de Kooning was in her own right . . . The current
recognition her work is receiving is well deserved, and sets her
within the important context of major women artists."
-Art of the Times
