The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center and the Elaine de Kooning House will join forces to co-produce a special artist-in-residence program launching in July of 2024.
The two historic sites, former homes and studios to three of the most influential painters in American history, will welcome Quebecois painter Marie-Claire Chabauty to complete a portfolio of architectural portraits of each property.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with the Elaine de Kooning House,” says Pollock-Krasner House Director Matthew K. Ward, “and I Marie-Claire is the perfect artist to sensitively capture the character of our sister studios.”
“We’re honored to collaborate with the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. I’ve been a fan of the historic studio and accompanying programming since first visiting in 1998—I look forward to working with Matt and Marie-Claire,” says Chris Byrne, founder of the Elaine de Kooning House.
Both the Pollock-Krasner House and the Elaine de Kooning House are members of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios program and plan to continue their working relationship on future residencies and projects. Their first joint initiative will culminate in a 2025 exhibition of Chabauty’s work at the Pollock-Krasner House, as well as a corresponding publication produced by both sites.
