On Cream Woven paper
Jackson Pollock 1951 “Betty Parsons Gallery” Poster

In an essay by Jerome Weeks describing the Pollock retrospective at the Dallas Museum of Art in 2015, he writes of the new works, "just black enamel on raw canvas… [with] hints of faces and figures – precisely the kind of traditional imagery he’d rejected." He continues, "The show was a disaster. Later, Parson reportedly sold a single painting — for half-price." Still, wouldn't you have liked to be walking to the gallery that afternoon at 3:55 p.m., shivering, no doubt?
Comes with a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
