Police Gazette (painting)

Police Gazette is a 1955 abstract painting by Willem de Kooning,[1] which is currently in a private collection.

Police Gazette is a landscape painted on canvas using abstract elements, and colors such as yellow, green and red.

[2] It is a painting with simple geometric forms, creating a contrast between the formal elements that compose the artwork.

It was this painting that promoted Willem de Kooning amongst the most important contemporary abstract painters.

[4] Since then, the painting went through the hands of known art collectors, such as Sidney Janis, Eugene V. Thaw and Mrs. Scull.
