In 1967, a year after the untimely death of the poet, critic, and curator Frank O'Hara, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, published a seminal collection of illustrated poems to celebrate the life and work of O'Hara entitled IN MEMORY OF MY FEELINGS. Under the direction of the editor (poet Bill Berkson), art director (painter Robert Motherwell) and poetry selection consultants (poets John Ashbery and Kenneth Koch), thirty different visual artists who had been closely tied to the life and work of O'Hara were invited to collaborate on the project. Each artist was assigned a different O'Hara poem and asked to produce original acetate artwork as a response to their particular poem. The results of the collaboration were then printed as a beautiful limited edition slipcase of unbound lithographs. The artists included in the publication were Nell Blaine, Norman Bluhm, Joe Brainard, John Button, Giorgio Cavallon, Allan D'Arcangelo, Elaine de Kooning, Willem de Kooning, Niki de Saint Phalle, Helen Frankenthaler, Jane Freilicher, Michael Goldberg, Philip Guston, Grace Hartigan, Al Held, Jasper Johns, Matsumi Kanemitsu, Alex Katz, Lee Krasner, Alfred Leslie, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Reuben Nakian, Barnett Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers and Jane Wilson. Willem de Kooning was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist. He was born in Rotterdam and moved to the United States in 1926, becoming an American citizen in 1962. In 1943, he married painter Elaine Fried. In the years after World War II, de Kooning painted in a style that came to be referred to as abstract expressionism or "action painting", and was part of a group of artists that came to be known as the New York School. Other painters in this group included Jackson Pollock, Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Nell Blaine, Adolph Gottlieb, Anne Ryan, Robert Motherwell, Philip Guston, Clyfford Still, and Richard Pousette-Dart. De Kooning's retrospective held at MoMA in 2011–2012 made him one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS BY CLICKING MY Store ICON ABOVE
