Jackson Pollock’s Mural in the light of photography

Abstract

3. P. Guggenheim, Out of This Century: Confessions of an Art Addict (New York, 1979), 295 (the initial version of her autobiography was published in 1946). For Pollock’s height, see H. A. Harrison, “Inhabiting Pollock,” in Such Desperate Joy: Imagining Jackson Pollock, ed. H. A. Harrison (New York, 2000), 4, correcting some of his friends’ descriptions of the artist as imposingly tall. 4. For factual information about the townhouse and the installation of Mural, I follow F. V. O’Connor, “Jackson Pollock’s Mural for Peggy Guggenheim: Its Legend, Documentation, and Redefinition of Wall Guggenheim’s commission, Pollock’s painting, and Karger’s photograph
