Metropolitan Museum of Art Krasner and Pollock exhibition

Overview

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched a major exhibition titled ‘Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous,’ which runs until January 31, 2027. Featuring more than 120 works, including paintings, works on paper, and archival materials, the show aims to present Abstract Expressionist artists Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock as equals.

Curated by David Breslin and Brinda Kumar, the exhibition marks the first large-scale presentation of either artist in New York in over 20 years. The display utilizes loans from over 80 institutions, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Tate, and the Centre Pompidou.

The exhibition explores their intertwined careers, beginning with their meeting in the early 1940s, their time in Springs, Long Island, and concluding with Krasner’s work following Pollock’s death in 1956. It specifically highlights how Krasner’s connections in the New York avant-garde assisted in introducing Pollock to influential critics and gallerists.
