Blue Poles (Pollock)

Listed under Works of Art in Canberra, Australia.

'The purchase of Blue Poles by the National Gallery of Australia in September 1973 for US$2 million unleashed a storm of controversy in the press. Spontaneity, an idea inherent in modern art, reached a climax in Jackson Pollock’s work of the late 1940s. Blue Poles is an outstanding example of these ‘drip paintings’.' Nga.gov
