Erased De Kooning

The erasure of something previously there, and in this case something of huge cultural value
The erasure isn't trying to make something new - not a representational drawing like I've been doing.  It's a negation of a pre-existing drawing from his illustrious forebear.
The title is very important to how we understand the work - it is not just erasure, it is the erasure of a De Kooning (which we would not have otherwise known)
There is a paradox in the title, in that the mention of his name makes his presence indelible.
This work attests to the power of absence when specifically associated with a former state.
