SmART: Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner

Join us for the first in a series of in-depth conversations about art and artists hosted by Westport's own Stacy Bass. In this kickoff event, Stacy and Bobbi Coller will engage in a lively, illustrated conversation exploring the fascinating relationship between Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, viewing examples of their vibrant work and tracing the arcs of their careers. Before people used the term “power couple,” Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner were two of the most groundbreaking artists of the radically new Abstract Expressionist Movement that was centered in New York City. While Pollock’s distinctively energetic method of pouring paint directly onto the canvas was at first controversial, he gained a mythic notoriety during his short life, and he is now considered one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century. It took much longer for the art of his wife, Lee Krasner, to be appreciated and valued. The recent cultural drive to reassess the overlooked accomplishment of women artists has led to a realization of the strength of Krasner’s work, as well as her essential participation in the creation of mid-twentieth century abstraction. Her paintings and collages have now been displayed all over the world, sold for record-breaking prices at arthouse auctions, and prized in the collections of major museums. #JacksonPollock #LeeKrasner #femaleartist *** Recorded February 9, 2024, via Verso Studios at The Westport Library.
