Help in authenticating a Willem de Kooning drawing...

artandsoul · September 24th, 2011, 02:33 PM

Can anyone suggest a recognized expert who will authenticate works by Willem de Kooning? I have contacted the Willem de Kooning Foundation in New York, and they do not authenticate de Kooning's works, nor will they recommend someone who does authenticate works by Willem de Kooning. The major auction houses will not recommend anyone either. Thanks for any input regarding this matter.

I guess you could look at major galleries that represent De Kooning (e.g. Gagosian) or perhaps an art historian who has authored a book about him.
