Drawing its subtitle, Past Continuous, from a 1976 painting by Krasner, the Krasner and Pollock exhibition, running from October 4, 2026 through January 31, 2027, traces the parallels between married artists Lee Krasner (1908–1984) and Jackson Pollock (1912–1956), whose entwined personal and professional lives were central to mid-twentieth century art. Krasner, born in Brooklyn to Jewish immigrant parents from what is now Ukraine, and Pollock, raised in Los Angeles and the American West, brought specific geographies and inheritances into a shared artistic context. Their early paths traced distinct strands of American modernism that would ultimately converge in the rupture known as Abstract Expressionism, a movement that valued the translation of inner feelings into dramatic visual action. Pollock was known for his breakthrough “drip” technique, a radical mode of painting that flourished in a condensed but prolific period. Krasner explored abstraction in nature and color. Featuring over 120 works, this exhibition is the first to look at the full arc of their careers together.
