Lee Krasner Solo Show Heads to Paris in the Fall

Gagosian’s rue de Ponthieu gallery in Paris will host the first solo exhibition in France dedicated to Lee Krasner, featuring paintings and works on paper from the 1960s. The exhibition is due to open on October 19 to coincide with the French edition of Art Basel.

The show will include examples from her Umber paintings and the Primary Series, alongside calligraphic color experiments created in the decade after Pollock's death, which Krasner learned about while staying in Paris in 1956. She returned to New York and their studio in Springs, East Hampton, soon afterwards.

The show is co-organized with the dealer Olney Gleason and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

It also coincides with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's big Jackson Pollock and Krasner show in New York, which opens October 4.
