David Anfam: Ashes and Flesh

For you lovers of exceptional art writing out there, be sure to check out the current issue of Art in America (September, 2011). The piece on Willem de Kooning by David Anfam, “Ashes and Flesh,” is one of the best treatments I have seen on BdK in forever. Amidst what is sure to be an onslaught of articles, opinions, reviews, and departures on the upcoming de Kooning Retrospective, this is certain to remain a standout.
