Join Gertie for a curator led walkthrough of the remarkable Willem de Kooning drawing exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Widely celebrated for his explosive paintings, de Kooning’s drawings reveal another side of the artist: restless, searching, intimate, and endlessly experimental. Moving through works that span decades, we’ll explore how drawing functioned as both a testing ground and a vital practice in its own right, tracing the evolution of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Led by the exhibition's curators, this special walkthrough offers deeper insight into de Kooning’s process, influences, and enduring impact on contemporary art. Expect close looking, lively conversation, and the rare opportunity to experience these works through the lens of the people who know them best.
Whether you’re a longtime admirer of de Kooning or newly curious about his work, this is a chance to engage with the exhibition in a thoughtful and dynamic way alongside fellow art lovers.
