![Willem de Kooning — “I made those paintings one after the other, no trouble at all. I couldn’t miss…It’s like a man at a gambling table [who] feels that he can’t lose. But when he walks away with all the dough, he knows he can’t do that again. Because then it gets self-conscious. I wasn’t self-conscious. I just did it.”](https://rtwaymdozgnhgluydsys.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/artwork-images/auction-lots/NY010318-172018-lot1774364374849.jpg)
