About this Item
pp. (16). The black pourings, a series of enamel and oil paintings from 1951 marked a change of direction for Pollock, away from the previous colourful lyrical works. Pollock would almost calligraphically apply the paint with sticks and basting syringes. This new technique replaced the encrusted dripping paint of previous works, focusing on a more direct relationship between unprimed canvas and black enamel paint. The series of black paintings were first exhibited at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, November - December 1951. The 16-page catalogue for the show reproduces, in screenprint, sixteen of the black paintings, including one on each of the front and rear covers. Introductory text by Alfonso Ossorio. Also present is the original double-sided screenprint announcement poster for the show, machine-folded three times as issued, and inserted loose. Original cream wrappers, with minor handling marks, browning and spots to covers, internally good. Folded poster with resultant tiny holes in central folds, pinholes to corners of sheet and 1cm tear to right edge not affecting image. Seller Inventory # 1257
