Willem DeKooning

Willem DeKooning's collaboration with Irwin Hollander, a renowned printmaker, showcased the artist's bold abstract expressionist style in the realm of printmaking. Together, they explored various techniques such as lithography and etching, translating DeKooning's energetic brushstrokes and gestural marks onto paper with remarkable fidelity. Hollander's technical expertise and sensitivity to DeKooning's artistic vision facilitated the creation of prints that captured the spontaneity and dynamism of the artist's paintings. Their collaboration produced a body of work celebrated for its vibrant colors, expressive lines, and the unique fusion of DeKooning's iconic style with the meticulous craftsmanship of printmaking.

The unreleased limited editions were intended for publication by de Kooning. However, the timing was unfortunate, therefore the 7 completed editions went into storage while long range commercial options were considered. These prints have been thought lost, however, in 2018 they were discovered by Irwin Hollander's son Mark. They debuted through Sragow Gallery at the IFPDA print fair in NYC the same year.
