Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous

At the Met in New York, “Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous” considers Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock as working artists in a shared time and place, not as a single myth with a supporting cast. The exhibition traces how their practices intersected and diverged across painting, drawing, and process, with attention to influence, exchange, and the pressures of reputation. Its NYC setting matters: the city helped define Abstract Expressionism and still shapes how these careers are narrated. The show quietly argues for a more balanced historical record.
