Discover *Action Painting: Jackson Pollock*, the major art book published in May 2008 by Hatje Cantz Verlag in collaboration with the Fondation Beyeler (ISBN 9783905632644). This 216-page English-language volume—a large-format paperback measuring 12.20 x 9.84 inches (31 x 25 cm)—brings together over 200 images, including approximately 130 color reproductions. It places Jackson Pollock at the heart of the birth and explosion of Action Painting, explores Harold Rosenberg’s concept of the “arena canvas” and the dripping technique, and contrasts American Abstract Expressionism with European movements (Art Informel and Tachisme).
Featuring essays by Pepe Karmel, Robert Fleck, Jason Edward Kaufman, Gottfried Boehm, and Ulf Küster, along with works by 25 to 27 major artists (Karel Appel, Lynda Benglis, Norman Bluhm, Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Arshile Gorky, Hans Hartung, Eva Hesse, Hans Hofmann, Gerhard Hoehme, Asger Jorn, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Morris Louis, Joan Mitchell, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Kazuo Shiraga, Pierre Soulages, Clyfford Still, Cy Twombly, Wols…), this copy—in like-new condition—is the definitive reference work for understanding gesture, the body, and space in postwar abstract painting.
