FROM THE ARCHIVES

THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1950

THE EAST HAMPTON STAR

Today’s “from the archives” highlights the Ten East Hampton Abstractionists exhibition in the summer of 1950, canonized in art history as the first show of “Ab Ex” at Guild Hall (one of the first at any museum), including works by Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, John Little, and Robert Motherwell. This show is mentioned in the 2018 book Ninth Street Women by Mary Gabriel as having been pitched to Guild Hall’s director by Lee Krasner, who requested both galleries but was given just one.

—————–

Another landmark moment at Guild Hall and a fun fact: Jackson Pollock met Hans Namuth on July 1, 1950, at the opening of Ten East Hampton Abstractionists, and Namuth went on to shoot the famous portraits of Pollock at his studio in Springs that summer.
