About the artwork:

“Number 32, 1950” ranks among the most radical visual discoveries not only in Jackson Pollock’s oeuvre but in American Abstract Expressionist art as a whole. It stands as a paradigm for the dissolution of the New York School from European art history and for the articulation of a new American self-confidence in postwar art. “Number 32, 1950” represents a culmination and intensification of his art since the end of 1947.
