At the Met, Krasner and Pollock Arrive With an Insured Value That May Pass $3 Billion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has brought works by Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock together for one exhibition, with loans from collections around the world. The insurance figure on the assembled pictures may come in above $3 billion. That number is not a price, and nothing in these galleries has changed hands. It is the value placed on the works while they hang in New York, and it shows how much the lenders entrusted to the museum. By the account of those who organized it, assembling the show took an enormous amount of work.
