Jackson Pollock Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1912 - d. 1956

Artist Jackson Pollock, one of the 20th century's most renowned artists, was born in 1912, and his early artistic influences were regionalist painter, Thomas Hart Benton, Diego Rivera, the Mexican muralist, and works of Surrealism. An exhibition of Pablo Picasso in 1939 led to Pollock experimenting with abstract art. In 1947, he began working in a new method of dripping and throwing enamel paint onto large canvases spread on the floor, and it was revolutionary. No.5, 1948, with its record sale of $140 million in 2006, is the Jackson Pollock painting valued the highest, though others are assessed in the millions.
