Exhibition

The Figurative Pollock.
From oct 2016, 2 - jan 2017, 22
Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland

We are in charge of the press relations in France for the Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland

The exhibition offers a representative survey of Pollock’s figurative oeuvre, tracing his creative evolution from the mid
1930s to his early death in an
accident in 1956.
By contrast, the show features only glimpses of the majestic drip paintings the artist produced in the short period between 1947 and 1950. The absence of these famous canvases is a deliberate
omission, drawing the visitor’s attention to the manifest continuity linking the frequently marginalized works of the 1930s and 1940s to the well-known large
-format canvases from the 1950s. The selection includes an imposing set of black paintings, the works Pollockcreated immediately after abandoning his signature drip style, as well as his last pictures from the 1950s, which insistently
probe the question of the figure.
