Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots is only the third major U.S. museum exhibition to focus solely on the artist hailed as 鈥渢he greatest painter this country has ever produced.鈥� On November 20, the Dallas Museum of Art will present what experts have deemed a 鈥渙nce in a lifetime鈥� exhibition, organized by the DMA鈥檚 Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art Gavin Delahunty: the largest survey of Jackson Pollock鈥檚 black paintings ever assembled. This exceptional presentation, which critics hailed as 鈥渟ensational," "exhilarating," "genius,"  鈥渞evelatory,鈥� and 鈥渞evolutionary鈥� on its UK premier at Tate Liverpool, will receive its sole US presentation in Dallas and include many works that have not been exhibited for more than 50 years.

Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots offers critical new scholarship on this understudied yet pivotal period in the artist鈥檚 career and provides radical new insights into Pollock鈥檚 practice. With more than 70 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, the exhibition will first introduce audiences to Pollock鈥檚 work via a selection of his classic drip paintings made between 1947 and 1950. These works will serve to contextualize the radical departure represented by the black paintings, a series of black enamel paintings that Pollock created between 1951 and 1953. An unprecedented 31 black paintings will be included in the DMA presentation. Exhibiting works from the height of the artist鈥檚 celebrity set against his lesser known paintings will offer the opportunity to appreciate Pollock鈥檚 broader ambitions as an artist, and to better understand the importance of the 鈥渂lind spots鈥� in his practice.
