      November 30, 1984: Lee Krasner: Works on Paper will open at The Brooklyn Museum on January 10 and be on view through March 25, 1985. This exhibition will compliment the Lee Krasner retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art and an exhibition of her student work at the Cooper Union. Krasner, who died last June, was one of the pioneers of postwar American abstract painting and has been recognized since the early 1970’s as a formative member of the generation of Abstract Expressionist painters that changed the course of American Art.

      During the early part of her career, critics perceived her works as heavily influenced, indeed an adjunct, to that of her husband Jackson Pollock. It was only in the 1970’s that art historians and curators began to recognize her as a formative member of the first generation of Abstract Expressionists. Today, Krasner’s life work is widely recognized as being among one of the most significant contributions to modernist abstract painting.

      Lee Krasner: Works on Paper will present over 30 works spanning more than forty years of the artist’s mature career. Included in the exhibition will be selections from series of gouaches, ink drawings and collages. From thickly applied paint to washes of color, this exhibition illustrates the various methods Krasner used in her expressive and energetic work.

    • ART: LEE KRASNER FINDS HER PLACE IN RETROSPECTIVE AR MODERNDecember 21, 1984 By GRACE GLUECK"FOR years, the name Lee Krasner didn't mean a lot in the art world. A dedicated painter herself, she was much better known as Mrs. Jackson Pollock, and for too long after his death, as Lee Krasner Pollock, the artist's widow. There were even those who said that she couldn't get a show were it not for the Pollock connection, a whispering campaign of..."

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"

      Over the years, the collections of the Brooklyn Museum have been organized and reorganized in different ways. Collections of the former Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs include works on paper that may fall into other categories: American Art, European Art, Asian Art, Contemporary Art, and Photography.
      The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles; images of the original releases have been included for your reference. Please note that all the original typographical elements, including occasional errors, have been retained. Releases may also contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.
      For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called "didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.
      For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the objects from the Brooklyn Museum collection that were in the installation.
