A PALMER hit list of what’s new, now, and next from around the globe—from our obsessive-at-large, Wynn Burson Cateron.
“Portrait in Green,” the only canvas Lee Krasner painted in 1969, is going to be exhibited at the Pollock-Krasner House, the Abstract Expressionist artist’s former home and studio in the Springs neighborhood of East Hampton, beginning August 3. Notably, “Portrait in Green” is the only one of Krasner’s paintings to have been photographed as she created it, and this exhibition will include the photographs of her running at the wall at work on the painting, shot by Mark Patiky, as well as a selection of equally stunning gouaches made by Krasner the same year as “Portrait in Green.”
Visitors to the beautiful and bucolic grounds of the Pollock-Krasner House can stand in the studio where Krasner’s gestures can still be seen on the walls, on the surface of which she worked after her husband Jackson Pollock’s death in 1956 (also still clearly visible in the studio are Pollock’s own idiosyncratic drips on the floor, which was famously his chosen surface on which to paint when he was alive and before Krasner covered it up for her own use, consequently preserving his marks)…at The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, 830 Springs-Fireplace Road, East Hampton, through October 29.
