32 works by US abstract art icon Pollock found
NEW YORK: A trove of 32 previously unknown works by abstract art icon Jackson Pollock has been discovered by a family friend, who said on Friday he would like them to tour internationally and be studied by art historians.
Alex Matter, a filmmaker who knew Pollock from childhood, said the collection was among the possessions of his late parents who were long associated with Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner.
Matter said that about two years ago he stumbled upon the soot-covered artworks wrapped in brown paper since 1958.
They had been first stored in a Manhattan boiler room and then, he said, for nearly three decades in a warehouse in East Hampton, Long Island, not far from where Pollock had his studio and was killed in a car crash in 1956.
The works included 22 of the artist's drip paintings and two enamels on paper, Matter said. – Reuters
