About the artwork:

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