Number 1, 1949 is a monumental example of Jackson Pollock's revolutionary drip painting technique. Created with thinned paint and commercial enamel, this work exemplifies Pollock's rejection of figural representation in favor of completely abstract all-over composition. The dense network of splattered and dripped paint in white, black, blue, pink, and yellow creates an energetic surface that extends to all edges of the canvas. Part of the prestigious Rita and Taft Schreiber Collection, this iconic work has been exhibited at Sidney Janis Gallery in New York and other distinguished venues.
