you've already gone alex?
i'm definitely going to get there.
1) Been twice. It is amazing. The guy was a brilliant draftsman, he could just draw his ass off, but he was also a master with the paint. It's really a gorgeous show. I'm with the crowd that considers de Kooning the greatest American painter of the last century.
[2] cool - thanks for the feedback. i have high hopes, which you have confirmed- really looking forward to it.
