Jackson Pollock. Mural. Energy made visible

David Anfam, leading authority on Abstract Expressionism, is curating a touring exhibition of Jackson Pollock’s Mural (1943, University of Iowa Museum of Art, Iowa City) following its conservation and cleaning at the Getty Conservation Institute and exhibition first at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and then in Sioux City, Iowa. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection will be the first European venue for this presentation of Mural, Jackson Pollock’s largest painting and now considered by some to be the single most important American painting of the 20th century. This privilege acknowledges that Mural was commissioned in the summer of 1943 (and completed by early November the same year) by Peggy Guggenheim for her New York apartment on East 61st Street.
