Frames, lampshades, or items described as “supplementary” are not considered integral to the value of the lot and are excluded from condition assessments.

Willem de Kooning was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist who played a significant role in the development of abstract expressionism, one of the most important art movements of the 20th century. His innovative approach to painting, characterized by gestural brushwork, dynamic compositions, and expressive use of color, challenged traditional notions of representation and paved the way for subsequent generations of artists. De Kooning's work is celebrated for its emotional intensity and exploration of the human form, as well as its influence on the evolution of modern art. He remains a towering figure in art history, revered for his contribution to the development of abstraction and his lasting impact on the art world.
