Pollock (2000)

122 minutes, Rated R for language and brief sexuality

First Sunday of each Month, start time: 1:30 pm

The film was from the book Jackson Pollock: An American Saga by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. Ed Harris starred as Pollock and directed the film. Marcia Gay Harden won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for portraying Lee Krasner. Ed Harris was nominated for Best Actor.

 

 

The Jackson Pollock Mural is part of the University of Iowa Art Museum's Legacies for Iowa Collections Sharing Project. As part of the Sharing Project the University does not charge a rental fee for the loan of Mural. But due to the extra costs required by increased security and insurance, as well as facility modifications, shipping and additional expertise, the Art Center Association of Sioux City had to raise $200,000 to make the project possible. The Association accomplished this goal through its Blockbuster Partners, a group of individuals, businesses and foundations whose mission is to underwrite and promote major exhibitions and acquisitions of art for the Art Center's Permanent Collection.
