Collection: Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) was an American painter whose development of all-over drip painting in the late 1940s made him a central figure of Abstract Expressionism. Working on unprimed canvas laid on the floor, he abandoned conventional brushwork in favour of poured and flung paint, producing works of dense gestural energy that redefined the relationship between artist, material, and surface. He was included in the landmark 1951 exhibition Abstract Painting and Sculpture in America at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and represented the United States at the 1950 Venice Biennale.
