Christie’s Willem De Kooning Auction Offers An Opportunity To Own A Piece Of East Hampton’s Artistic History

Andrew NachemsonbyAndrew Nachemson

Home Arts

Bidding for Willem De Kooning’s Works on Paper from the Estate of Dr. Henry Vogel opened on Wednesday, June 5 and will continue through the Wednesday, June 19. The timed online auction is being held exclusively by Christie’s, and features 33 distinct, untitled works from the estate of De Kooning’s good friend and psychiatrist, Dr. Henry Vogel. In his time, De Kooning was seen as a founding father of abstract expressionism and belonged to an art movement referred to as the New York School, which included the likes of Jackson Pollock.

Originally known for spatial ambiguity, elegant and decisive lines, and a focus on the human (especially female) form, De Kooning’s style evolved and changed upon his settling in East Hampton during the 1960’s. De Kooning was drawn to the area after visiting his friend and colleague, Jackson Pollock, in East Hampton. He saw the area as a quiet, reflective place to escape the fast-paced bustle of New York City, and was particularly enamored with the landscape because it reminded him of his native Holland.

An oil on paper piece estimated to go for $60,000-$80,000. (courtesy photo)

His arrival in the Hamptons inspired De Kooning to such a degree that his paintings after that period are sometimes considered to be a distinct body of work from his earlier pieces. The seclusion and openness of the country, alongside his fascination with light and the shimmering reflections on the water, were manifested by a more open concept of space and an often colorful style. His work continued to depict the female figure, but these new pieces were informed by the rolling beaches, wide marshes, and expansive skyline of East Hampton. Kristen Force, an art specialist at Christie’s New York, noted that while De Kooning’s earlier works were harsh, “in Woman Sag Harbor, painted during his time in Long Island, the figure depicted is more lush and voluptuous, and the colors are softer and more delicate.”

Now, art collectors from all levels have the opportunity to own a piece of this artistic transformation. With starting bids ranging from $1,000 to $40,000, the sale presents a diverse selection of the author’s works, all on paper and all offered from Dr. Vogel’s personal collection. “This special online-only sale presents a tremendous collecting opportunity for enthusiasts of both de Kooning and of works on paper, as well as a wonderful jumping-off point for those looking to begin a collection,” said Force.

As with all of Christie’s exclusive online-only auctions, all browsing and bidding for the works featured in the two-week sale is done completely online, with the click of a mouse. Registration and bidding are open to both new and established clients located anywhere in the world.

  • Wölffer’s New Argentinian Malbec is Perfect for the Holiday Season⁠
⁠
Christian Wölffer, former owner of Wölffer Estate Vineyards here in Sagaponack, New York, had always dreamt of owning a vineyard in Argentina one day. He wasn’t able to bring that dream to fruition before his death in 2008, but his children, Joey and Marc, have worked hard in the years following to make their father’s dream a reality. ⁠
⁠
After his father’s passing, Marc eventually bought 85 hectares of land in Mendoza, Argentina, a city in the Cuyo region that is also known as the heart of Argentinian Wine Country. Together with fellow winemaker Roman Roth and Susanna Balbo, the vineyard’s “Aida of Torrontes”, the Wölffer team has launched their newest Wine– the Finca Wölffer Malbec 2022, a rich and jammy Argentinian red. @wolfferwine⁠

My afternoon with William Cummings and Bernt Heiberg, the venerable founders of the eponymous Heiberg Cummings Design, was fantastic and a fascinating reminder of how much energy and effort goes into the art of designing a truly remarkable home.⁠
⁠
Having casual access to this much-celebrated creative team is a luxury, and Bill and Bernt are among the most approachable and kind people you’ll meet in the Hamptons. Not to mention their impeccable design taste. Together, they are beautifully balanced as an archetypal power couple—Bill as the head and Bernt as the Heart—driven by a shared love for and commitment to their craft. @heibergcummingsdesign⁠
