Lee Krasner will make her Paris debut in October 2024 with a solo exhibition at Gagosian's rue de Ponthieu gallery, organized in collaboration with Olney Gleason and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. The show will focus on her bold, large-scale works from the 1960s, a period of renewed confidence after she survived an aneurysm and a broken arm. It opens ahead of Art Basel Paris and coincides with a major survey at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous," which pairs her work with that of her husband, Jackson Pollock.
This double spotlight underscores Krasner's rising market prominence and institutional recognition. Her auction record of $11.7 million for *The Eye Is the First Circle* (1960) was set in 2019, and all ten of her top auction prices have occurred in the past decade. The Paris show marks her first-ever exhibition in France, filling a notable gap in her international exposure and signaling sustained demand for her work among collectors and museums alike.
