[POLLOCK, JACKSON.] O’CONNOR, Francis Valentine (1937-2017) and THAW, Eugene Victor (1927-2018). Jackson Pollock: A Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings, Drawings, and Other Works. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1978.
The first edition of the Pollock catalogue raisonné. When Jackson Pollock drafted his will in 1951, he asked that his work be kept “as intact as possible,” and upon his death, Lee Krasner realized that publishing a catalogue raisonné would be the most practical way of fulfilling this request. The task of compiling and publishing a complete and authoritative catalogue of Pollock’s work began in 1957 at the Sidney Janis Gallery. Ten years later Francis O’Connor signed on, but the project stalled due to funding until 1972 when Thaw undertook it, bringing it to completion in August 1976.
Four vols, quarto (277 x 280mmm). Illustrated. Oatmeal cloth stamped in black and gilt (a few faint spots of very minor soiling to covers); cloth slipcase. [With:] Supplement Number One. New York: The Pollack-Krasner Foundation, Inc., 1995.
