拍品專文

In 1951, Pollock created a portfolio of six screenprints based on his most recent paintings, black-and-white drips in which he began to treat the figure once again. These were an important and very personal selection of his most up-to-date work. Pollock's decision to use screenprinting was very experimental and unusual in the early 1950s, yet was typical of his open attitude to the possibilities of printmaking. Because the artist numbered some of the prints as being in an edition of 25, and others in an edition of 30, there is some uncertainty regarding the total number of this original, lifetime printing. (There was also an Estate-approved posthumous edition of 1964 of 50 numbered and marked copies.)
