Who is Jackson Pollock, and why is one of his less famous works of art — and its upcoming sale at an auction — so significant?
The Everson Museum of Art will be auctioning off a painting by the famed abstract expressionist this week through Christie’s Auctions. “Red Composition,” 1946, is expected to sell for millions. The Syracuse museum leadership said it plans to use the money to diversify its collection by acquiring works created by artists of color, women artists and other underrepresented creators.
