Artworks

Dense web of dripped and flung enamel in black and silvery grey, looping and knotting across a pale cream ground with fine spatters.

Number 23

Jackson Pollock

Dense abstract web of poured and splattered black paint over bare beige canvas, tangled with looping white and grey threads of paint and small patches of yellow and red showing through.

Yellow Islands

Jackson Pollock

Tangled, muscular nude figures in reds, pinks and browns twist together as a raised hand grips a dagger overhead, limbs and blade-like shapes locked in violent struggle

Naked Man with Knife

Jackson Pollock

Long horizontal frieze of looping black poured lines dancing across a pale ground, punctuated by patches of yellow, blue and grey; the rhythmic skeins suggest striding figures

Summertime: Number 9A

Jackson Pollock

Sweeping poured lines of black paint coil across a buff-coloured canvas, suggesting reclining figures and heads amid dense pools and spatters.

Number 14

Jackson Pollock

Dense vertical abstract of swirling interlocked forms in black, white, red, blue and green, with mask-like faces, staring eyes and clawed limbs tumbling down the canvas in thick paint
