The Met is Finally Treating Lee Krasner as Pollock’s Equal—Will the Market Follow?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced a major upcoming exhibition titled "Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous," which aims to present Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock as artistic equals. While the museum's narrative seeks to reframe Krasner as a formidable figure of the New York School on her own terms, the art market continues to reflect a significant valuation gap. Pollock’s auction record stands at over $61 million, while Krasner’s peak public sale remains just under $12 million, highlighting the persistent commercial struggle for female Abstract Expressionists.

Olney Gleason, a new gallery founded by former Kasmin senior staff Nick Olney and Eric Gleason, has been appointed as the exclusive representative for the estates of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner through the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. The gallery, which opened earlier this year, succeeds Kasmin in handling the artists' work; Kasmin had represented Pollock since 2024 and Krasner since 2017. Olney and Gleason previously organized multiple Krasner exhibitions at Kasmin and supported major museum shows, including a 2019 Krasner retrospective at the Barbican Centre and a 2024 Pollock exhibition at the Picasso Museum in Paris.

Sotheby’s Unveils Plans for Breuer Building, Announces Opening Date

Sotheby's will open its new global headquarters in the Marcel Breuer–designed building at 945 Madison Avenue on November 8, 2025, after a renovation by Herzog & de Meuron with local partner PBDW Architects. The Brutalist landmark, originally completed in 1966 for the Whitney Museum of American Art, later housed the Met Breuer and the Frick Collection during its renovation. The project restores Breuer's original open gallery floors, adds state-of-the-art lighting and climate control, and preserves period details like the lobby's domed ceiling lights. The opening will feature a free public exhibition of Modern and Contemporary art ahead of marquee auctions starting November 17, with design sales and Luxury Week following on December 5, and a fine-dining restaurant by Roman and Williams opening later in the winter.
