This e-book tells the inside story of how Jackson Pollock became recognized as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. The book describes in detail how key decisions were made in the early 1960s by Pollock’s widow, Lee Krasner, to build his reputation.
The author and art historian James T. Valliere was the first person to work with Lee Krasner on this vast and ultimately successful project. His interviews with Pollock’s contemporaries, including artist Willem de Kooning, have been featured in many publications and books. All of these interviews are in the Archives of American Art.
