Synopsis
Jackson Pollock's (1912–1956) first large-scale painting, Mural, in many ways represents the birth of Pollock, the legend. The controversial artist’s creation of this painting has been recounted in dozens of books and dramatized in the Oscar-winning film Pollock. Rumors―such as it was painted in one alcohol-fueled night and at first didn’t fit the intended space―abound. But never in doubt was that the creation of the painting was pivotal, not only for Pollock but for the Abstract Expressionists who would follow his radical conception of art ―“no limits, just edges.”
Mural, painted in 1943, was Pollock’s first major commission. It was made for the entrance hall of the Manhattan duplex of Peggy Guggenheim, who donated it to the University of Iowa in the 1950s where it stayed until its 2012 arrival for conservation and study at the Getty Center. This book unveils the findings of that examination, providing a more complete picture of Pollock’s process than ever before. It includes an essay by eminent Pollock scholar Ellen Landau and an introduction by comedian Steve Martin. It accompanies an exhibition of the painting on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from March 11 through June 1, 2014.

Hardcover. Condition: VG. Tan canvas, black & color illus. dust jacket, 114 pp., colro & BW illus., one fold-out. "Jackson Pollock was relatively unknown in 1943 when he received his first major commission: a large mural for the Manhattan townhouse of collector Peggy Guggenheim. . Mural's enormous scale took Pollock's practice beyond the confines of smaller canvases and toward the experimental application of paint -- throwing and spattering in addition to brushing and dabbing -- that would later become his hallmark. It marks a turning point in his career that would also influence the course of American art. The expert authors of this volume have investigated Mural using the most advanced scientific equipment and scholarly resources available. . [It] begins with an essay by famous actor and art collector Steve Martin." (dj) Consists of four illustrated essays. Includes bibliography and many colorful views of the mural.
