Lee Krasner: Works from the 1960s

Solo presentation of Lee Krasner's paintings and works on paper from the 1960s at Gagosian's Paris gallery, the first major exhibition of the artist's work in France. About Gagosian, Olney Gleason, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation are pleased to announce an exhibition of Lee Krasner's paintings and works on paper from the 1960s at Gagosian's rue de Ponthieu gallery in Paris. This collaborative presentation is the first solo exhibition of the artist's work in France and continues the renewed international attention brought by the 2019–21 touring European retrospective Lee Krasner: Living Color. The Paris exhibition, opening on October 19, 2026, spans a pivotal decade in Krasner's artistic development, characterized by vibrant gestural abstractions. It coincides with the first major dual survey of Lee Krasner's and Jackson Pollock's work, Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous, on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from October 4, 2026, to January 31, 2027. Larry Gagosian noted, "The 1960s marked a key turning point in Lee Krasner's life and career, as her distinctive artistic voice was seen on its own. At a moment when her talent and contributions are finally being acknowledged on an institutional scale, we are honored to contribute to that story by presenting a show of her work in Paris for the very first time." Eric Gleason commented, "This important exhibition focusing on work from the 1960s will further illuminate Krasner's position as one of the most versatile and courageous painters of the postwar era. We are pleased to collaborate with Gagosian to extend the work of Olney Gleason and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation in building appreciation of Krasner's exceptional legacy."
