Original Tate Gallery Exhibition Poster – Jackson Pollock, 1999
Original exhibition poster produced for the landmark Jackson Pollock retrospective held at the Tate Gallery, London, from 11 March to 6 June 1999. This major exhibition was the first comprehensive Pollock retrospective to be shown in Britain for more than forty years and brought together many of the artist's most celebrated works.

Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century and a leading figure of Abstract Expressionism. Renowned for his revolutionary "drip painting" technique, Pollock transformed modern art through his energetic, all-over compositions that challenged traditional approaches to painting. His work helped establish New York as a major centre of the post-war art world and continues to inspire artists, collectors and museums worldwide. (The Art Newspaper)
This original exhibition poster was issued by the Tate to promote the 1999 retrospective, which travelled from the Museum of Modern Art in New York and featured many of Pollock's iconic drip paintings alongside lesser-known figurative works and experiments. (The Art Newspaper)
A highly desirable piece of art exhibition ephemera, ideal for collectors of modern art, Abstract Expressionism, Tate exhibition posters, or admirers of Pollock's groundbreaking work.
