Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) is regarded as the undisputed leader of the Abstract Expressionist
movement. In 1945, he married fellow artist
Lee Krasner (1908-1984) and moved from New York City to
Long Island’s East End. With a loan from art dealer Peggy Guggenheim, they purchased a small
homestead on one and a quarter acres overlooking Accabonac Creek in The Springs, near East Hampton.
