WILLEM DE KOONING
The Devil at the Keyboard.

Lithograph on Arches, 1976. 910x635 mm; 36x25 inches (sheet), full margins. Artist's proof printed in black, aside from the edition of 125 printed in colors. Signed and inscribed "a/p" in pencil, lower right. Published by the Rainbow Art Foundation, New York. A very good impression of this extremely scarce proof.

De Kooning (1904-1997) produced this work, an image of Thelonius Monk, for the Rainbow Art Foundation, New York, a group that was started by Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Bill Caldwell and de Kooning himself, to assist young, underprivileged artists.
