About the Show:
Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning, and American Art, 1940-1976 is the first major U.S. exhibition in 20 years to rethink Abstract Expressionism and the movements that followed. Over fifty key works by 32 artists--among them Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Hans Hoffman, Helen Frankenthaler and Mark Rothko--are displayed from the perspectives of rival art critics Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, both of whom wrote extensively on the New York School.
