The Metropolitan Museum of Art is hosting a major exhibition titled ‘Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous,’ which examines the professional and personal relationship between Abstract Expressionist artists Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock. The exhibition features over 120 paintings, works on paper, and ephemera, including loans from more than 80 global institutions. Curators aim to present the artists' full careers side-by-side, highlighting their parallel lives, converging visions, and individual innovations. Specific focus is placed on addressing the gender politics of the era, noting how Krasner often worked in Pollock’s shadow despite her own significant productivity. By placing her name first in the title, the museum seeks to re-examine her legacy alongside the Abstract Expressionist mythos of Pollock and present her with equal artistic weight. The collection showcases Pollock’s ‘drip’ technique alongside Krasner’s explorations of abstraction and nature, including her use of discarded elements from Pollock’s paintings to create new compositions, such as her 1955 work ‘Bald Eagle.’ The exhibition runs through January 31.
