Willem and Elaine de Kooning acquired this property in the woods of East Hampton in 1961. After visiting Jackson Pollock’s eastern Long Island studio in 1948, De Kooning had fallen in love with the area, where the quality of light and proximity to the ocean brought back memories of his childhood in Holland.
