Death of an Artist - A fascinating little series, hosted by the British art historian and writer Katy Hessel, looking into the life of the American painter Lee Krasner. The partner of the American painter Jackson Pollock, Krasner’s work has been described as pioneering and a “a force of nature”

This series looks at her life. “When Jackson Pollock died in 1956, his global fame and fortune hadn't peaked yet. Nowhere near. And none of it would ever have happened if not for someone else. Someone hiding in plain sight. The woman who just put her husband in the ground and had less than $200 to her name. Lee Krasner.”
