JACKSON POLLOCK Untitled.
Screenprint on Strathmore paper, 1951 (printed 1964). 420x570 mm; 16 1/2x22 1/2 inches, full margins. Numbered 38/50 in pencil, lower right. Authorized by Lee Pollock Kasner and with the Pollock Estate blind stamp, lower left. A superb impression of this very scarce print.
Betty Parsons, whose gallery on East 57th Street in New York exhibited many of Pollock's works, organized his fifth solo show in 1951, Black Paintings. To coincide with the exhibit Pollock made screenprints of 6 of the paintings.
This series of screenprints, following an intended edition of 25 signed and numbered by Pollock (the edition of 25 was likely never reached), was ultimately printed and published posthumously in an edition of 50 by the artist's estate.
This screenprint was based on Pollock's Number 8 (Black Flowering), oil on canvas, 1951. O'Connor/Thaw 1092.
