Willem de Kooning: A Retrospective at MoMA Part I

[frodenorge]

Stunning. Especially to see all those black and whites. Doesn't get better than this.

Unfortunately,,, when I was at MoMA a week or two ago.. this wasn't open to the public yet :[ BUT, I got to see Woman 1 which happens to be one of my favorites. Great video, great artist, great museum.

Thanks so much for uploading this. I know I wouldn't get to see this otherwise.

amazing person, amazing artist

[ColdHeartedMan1979]

Damn, de Kooning could do it all! Amazing! Thanks so much for posting this!

[ChrisHayesArt]

are you allowed to just film in the middle of the gallery? :D

[jameskalm]

@ChrisHayesArt This was recorded during the official press preview, and they're glad to have me giving them extended exposure online.

Thank you so very much, James, for the videos that you post. I seldom have the opportunity to access the kinds of galleries and museums that you feature, living as I do so far away from any large city. Please continue the good work, and thanks again.

Great stuff James!! De Kooning is a massive influence on my work as an artist, so this is great to see and helps.

[KeithHarperSF]

Breathtaking to see so much great art.

[MrChubbington1]

Fabulous commentary and video James. When my bro ( whatever ) & myself saw the show a week ago ..already. I actually mentioned jokingly about you and your bike , this is James Kalm from the Moma etc. Small world we live in today. What a show ! i've waited so long to see this type of show. It's a once in a lifetime show. Amazing.

Thanks James for the video, i was lucky .... I was in New York last week and saw the show, took my time 1.5 hours there, I saw his 1960/75 paintings the Gotham News abstracts, quite incredible and the sculptures too. A must see show a true visual understanding afterwards. Thanks

Hi James, thanks so much!! I would never get to see so much fabulous art if it weren't for your YouTube videos!

[Laurawl19]

Hi James

[RhondaSuhrie]

Thanks for posting this! I haven't seen some of these de Kooning works before.

[MrGlasdu]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS, JK thanks for letting us enjoy from a distance.

Regards from Colombia.

[stephenjohn0]

Wow! this is the best yet. The oldies are the goodies. Thank you James for bringing us this. I would just love to see this show, maybe they'll give it an airing in London.

[Badahwood]

Thank youthankyouthankyouthankyou!!! I just moved. Internet was down.  Just fixed it. And you give me this!!! Life is Good!!!!

[TheKnittingKitten]

So wonderful! Thanks James!

[PicassoStar1]

This certainly made me hungry for more...on to part 2?

[pixelgurl59]

Wonderful! ... love your knowledge in the commentaries. Thanks from Australia James.

[SandlwdnSunflwrs7]

i like de kooning. he has very nice works.

[artboy2]

so so good! those enamels are hot! Show could have the erased dekooning, some re-appropriation action, thanks as always!

[Billart]

Your de Kooning Part 1 MoMA video 2011 so totally nailed this with a wide array of early de Kooning sequenced in very meaningful ways. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing these earlier work close up & quite steady & in a nice rhythm. Your comments were also very helpful opening things up. The ones one usually see of his early work in NYC are otherwise the same very few & thereby so much icons it's hard to break through to see the creativity. You've broken through here… GREAT!

[LawrenceCharlesMille]

Thank you, James! Best-

[foxtrapper1972]

looking forward to the next installment!

[sbachem]

as always, a joy to get a mail stating ' jameskalm hat soeben ein video heruntergeladen'. that means a mug of coffee and 10 minutes joining you in ny and having a seriously good look at art. thank you so much james.

[RonSchira]

Nice, really nice!

[alderwally]

Thanks again for all your hard work, insightful commentary and those glorious closeups! Paul

[wuz352]

Is this not another half-ass production?! Haha. Thanks so much, James. This is so great.

[jameskalm]

@wuz352 Stay tuned for what I expect will be a trilogy of great art. Keep your eyes peeled for the next two days, thanks JK
