Entering the Munson Museum in Utica, N.Y., you find yourself in an immense atrium. Opposite the entrance hangs a painting that not only “holds the wall,” to use a bit of studio jargon; its swirling, surging streaks of white pigment command the atrium’s entire, cavernous space. This is Jackson Pollock’s “Number 2, 1949” (1949), one of the dripped, poured and spattered canvases that changed the course of art history. Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
