Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Zustand: Very Good. First American Edition. np (120pp), profusely illustrated in b&w. Designed by Bea Feitler. "Pollock Painting" is the most complete presentation to date of the late Hans Namuth's myth-making photographs and film stills of Jackson Pollock at work in his and Lee Krasner's East Hampton home and studio during 1950 and 1951. In a series of photo shoots and finally a film also entitled "Pollock Painting", Namuth relentlessly documented the artist mid-creation in innovative ways. The emergence of this work gave birth to Pollock's nickname of "Jack the Dripper", and some believe contributed to the depression and alcoholism that preceded his early death in 1956. The book features scores of these iconic images accompanied by texts from Rosalind Krauss, Paul Falkenberg, Francis V. O'Conner, William Wright, and B.H. Friedman. A most handsome example of the 1980 Agrinde Publications first American hardbound edition additionally bearing the BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED PRESENTATION "to Connie Lembark / with more wishes than I can say - / Hans Namuth / May 1986." in black ink across the half title page showing some typical minor discoloration to the gutters of the inside covers and a bit of shaking along with the tiniest bit of sunning along the spine. There are traces of some discreet later gluing to the gutters of the textblock to reinforce the bindery's original use of cheap mucilage glue. The late Connie Lembark was a well-known Los Angeles art collector and her printed bookplate is affixed to the inside front. She was the co-author of the catalogue raisonné of prints by her close friend, Sam Francis, and this volume was acquired by us directly from Ms. Lembark prior to her passing. Signed Presentation Copy from the Photographer. Photography Monograph.
