Seeing Past the Future

Ongoing on Artland

An online exhibition of works by 2020 Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant recipients, "Seeing Past the Future" was conceived by Shimon Attie, the inaugural Charles C. Bergman Endowed Visiting Professor of Studio Art at Stony Brook University’s College of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. In consultation with Norman L. Kleeblatt, a former chief curator at the Jewish Museum in New York City, and with curatorial assistance from Talya Feldman, Mr. Attie has chosen a group of 29 artists who have received Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Picasso in Pollock 

Ongoing at picassoinpollock.org

From the late 1930s through the end of his career, Pollock responded to many aspects of Picasso's oeuvre. The exhibition, a hybrid of actual works and replicas, traces those influences in key examples, including the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center's Pollock painting, Untitled (Composition with Red Arc and Horses), ca. 1938, which contains a motif adapted from Picasso's 1937 mural, Guernica. A dedicated website with an essay by the distinguished scholar Pepe Karmel and a 3D tour of the installation, hosted by Artland, supplement the exhibition, which is supported by funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Singer Foundation, and a research grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art.

Creative Exchanges
Artists inJackson Pollock and Lee Krasner's Address Books

Ongoing at creativeexchanges.org

Address book

In the days before smart phones and email, people hand wrote contact information in books designed for that purpose. Telephone numbers were prefixed by two-letter abbreviations for exchanges, such as Butterfield (BU), Chelsea (CH), Trafalgar (TR) and Plaza (PL). Three such books belonging to Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner have survived: two are among their papers in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art; one is owned by the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. All three books are included, together with some 30 works by artists whose names, addresses, and telephone numbers appear in them, including Thomas Hart Benton, James Brooks, Helen Frankenthaler, Adolph Gottlieb, John Graham, Paul Jenkins, Reuben Kadish, John Little, Mercedes Matter, Barnett Newman, Alfonso Ossorio, Betty Parsons, Charles Pollock and Mark Rothko.
