Lee Krasner, Side by Side: A Two-Artist Show Puts Her Canvases on Equal Footing

A new exhibition hangs Lee Krasner's work alongside Jackson Pollock's and argues that hers deserves the same weight as his. For a long stretch, Krasner's name mostly appeared as an addendum to Pollock's: first as the woman married to him, then as the one who outlived him. This show lets the paintings make the argument, with the two artists side by side so that neither stands in the other's shadow. For anyone who follows American painting, it's a welcome adjustment, and Krasner's moment has come.
