Visit Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center
The former home and studio of Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) and Lee Krasner (1908-1984) is a National Historic Landmark. On this property in the rural hamlet of Spring, East Hampton, New York, the two artists created their most celebrated paintings. It is open to the public by advance reservation from May through October. In the barn studio, where Pollock worked from 1946–56, documents many of his masterpieces, including "Autumn Rhythm," "Convergence," and "Blue Poles." Krasner used the studio from 1957 until her death, and the walls are covered in colors and gestures from her major works, including "Gaea," "Memory of Love," and "Portrait in Green." Their tools and materials are also displayed. Their home remains much as Krasner left it, with its original furnishings and personal possessions, as well as the artists’ library and phonograph record collection. One original Pollock painting and prints by both artists are on view. Changing exhibitions focus on artists of the New York School and the Eastern Long Island art community. The study center comprises an art reference library and archives, an oral history collection, and documentation of Pollock, Krasner, and their contemporaries. Visits from scholars, students, and other researchers are welcome, and artists of all disciplines are encouraged to respond creatively to the site.
Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center is also a member of the Historic Artists' Homes & Studios program. Take a quick peek inside the home and studio,

After years of waiting to check this place out my best friend finally dragged me and it was worth every minute! This property is small but mighty. Our tour guide was incredible! He was so knowledgeable about Pollock and Krasner's life and the art scene in which they lived during their time. The tour includes a look inside Pollock's studio, which is breathtaking as well as a tour of their home. The property is so tranquil and peaceful as well might I add. If you are an art lover/fan this tour is a must do!

I have waited years to visit Jackson Pollock's home and studio. He is without a doubt one of my favorite artist of all time. I'm by no means an art connoisseur but, I appreciate art. I remember going over his work in my art history class in college and being captured by his work.I will forever love his drip paintings. I came here with my best friend and we equally loved the tour. It was very organized and run well. Absolutely come here. You have to make reservations, tours book up fast. Great way to spend a day when going out East.

As a fanatical, self-taught art historian, the visit is a magical dream come true. Inexpensive opportunity to view a site where abstract expressionism and action painting made history. Before the tour, had time to appreciate the property and waterfront views of marshy grasslands. The tour starts outside with a brief (20 min) discussion of the lives that intersected on the property. Then the viewing of the studio with splattered paint outlining the margins where Jax created masterworks. The walls lined with imagery from the days when Jax and Lee painted in a passionate fugue. Sadly, the time in the studio is extremely limited. Only about 15 minutes. I would have enjoyed an additional 15. Then in to the shared home where Lee lived out her last 25-ish years after Jax died. Walls adorned with epic examples of art by their friends and acquaintances. Tour guides are passionate, courteous, and knowledgeable. If I still lived in NY, I would probably make a pilgrimage 3-4 times a year. Highly recommended for any art enthusiast or historian.
I had been meaning to visit here for the past few Summers and finally made it happen Memorial Day Weekend Saturday. Took the Hampton Jitney ($60 round trip) there (more expensive than LIRR, but 1/2 hour shorter ride), pick-up on Lex/59th, towards East Hampton. Note: tickets sold out for the Friday, so we booked for Saturday AM. You *need* to reserve online, even if you decide to to pay on the bus- so confusing, but I guess it guarantees a seat. Bus ride was pleasant: free bottle water and granola bars, the cleanest widest bus that I've been on. The ride wasn't bad at all, nice napping time. East Hampton itself is very walkable, basically 5th Ave. Midtown transplanted to a Long Island Neighborhood. However you need to take a taxi to the House, it's about a 15 minute ride from Main East Hampton. ($20 to there- we couldn't find a cab on the main streets, and ended walking to the LIRR station anyway) ($25 back- ripped us off since he knew we were from the City). Carlos Cab Service. Spent a few hours at the House, there's an audio tour for the different buildings that is very informative and actually interesting (usually I have no attention span for those). Talked about both their lives, the creek in the back, history of the House, changes in planning & architecture, things in the area that inspired both of their work. The Studio is great- of course the floor is the best part. The house was nice, they had an interesting book collection & two bedrooms/studio space upstairs. I didn't really get the "exhibit" that they had on the walls in the house, I think it rotates, but it looked a little dated. Wish I had more time to check out the gift shop/admissions house- pretty awesome that the Director is also the person that sells your tickets to you. We stayed til closing and there was zero rush for us to leave. Nice and informative staff, a former SUNY Stonybrook student. Was surprised that there was a decent amount of people visiting the House as well. I'd say maybe 40-50 people within that afternoon. FYI- Beware of pin-sized Ticks! Wish we saw the signage posted around before we wandered further out to look into the wooded areas to the sides & towards the creek. FYI2- There aren't public restrooms, there's 2 porter potties near the front entrance. BUT these are the cleanest porter potties that I have EVER been in. (ie. concerts, street fairs, petting zoos) You can hear the birds, feel the breeze from the trees airing them out.

Pollock and Krasner house is the real deal. You get an audio guided tour through their living spaces. The house, studio and general area are a breath of fresh air from the long islands contrived commercial landscapes that are hard to avoid. My favorite part of coming here was meeting the guy that works in the studio area. He was a joyful artist, kind and represented the location amazingly. He also told me that he was on set when the movie had used the location to be filmed on for "Pollock" in 2000. Looking at the studio you can tell that they were extremely hard workers that were also very supportive of each others careers in the art field. It made me jealous to see that their was an entire space dedicated to making art where they could let loose and let be. (lol) But it was definitely beautiful to see. The house was filled with a lot of interesting and notable artworks made by some newer artists and also some of their friends whom were artists during the modern period. It was cool to listen to the audio guide because it gives you an in depth explanation of where certain things came from or even how some pieces were made. I really enjoyed my experience here the people who work here are friendly and glad to see people come in to enjoy something they also seem to care about. The woman in the gift shop was friendly enough to suggest a multitude of places to go see in the area as well. She also suggested some books that they were selling that I wish I could of afforded but instead I still bought some post cards and a cd that were pretty nice. I loved coming here and would definitely come back to show friends.
I love this place. Yes, it's a drive. Springs is way out there on the island. But if you're into the arts and history this is definitely worth the trek. I've been here twice, and both times I had a great experience. If you know anything about Pollock, you know he wasn't exactly the nicest guy around. But man, I dig his art. It's not just random haphazard splatter paint, there is more to it than that. And he didn't always do his "action paintings", he used to paint Americana type stuff. I could go on a whole tirade and give you an art history lesson, like why he named his paintings numbers instead of actually titling them. Anyways. When you come up to the house, you purchase a little ticket in the small house on the left. I believe it's $5 to get in. They have audio mp3 players that you can take with you that will guide you on your tour throughout the grounds of the house as well as the interior of the house and the current exhibit. The grounds are gorgeous and inspiring, I would love to have an art studio out here. The exhibit inside rotates, but much of the house is how it was left by Krasner (who stayed after Pollock's death in 1956). You will see one or two of her paintings here, but I didn't see any by Pollock (that I recall). We were able to explore both the downstairs and upstairs. Afterwards (and this is my favorite part) we got to walk across the backyard and walk into his studio. There is a smaller room where you must take off your shoes, and put on slippers (which are provided for you). Then up two little steps and you are standing in the studio space of Jackson Pollock. Paint splatters, paint cans, brushes...just take it all in. Sorry, but I am an art nerd. I just love thinking back to what it must have been like in the 50's, to be in that space, in such a cool era. Ah. Afterwards we mosied around the backyard, plopped ourselves on a big rock and ate sandwiches. If you bring food just be sure to clean up after yourself. Lots to do in the area after here, farm stands, wineries, it's a perfect way to spend the day in nicer weather.
Even though I am not the biggest fan of Jackson Pollock's work, visiting his house in the Hamptons was an incredibly moving experience. It was well worth the day trip from New York City for any art buffs. My friend and I opted to take the audio guided tour. It brought me to understand a little bit of the personal struggle Pollock and wife Lee Krasner had both as a married couple and as artists. It might be just me, but I definitely understood and felt a little bit of the negative energy left in the studio and the house. The grounds were beautiful, and everything is preserved well inside. The biggest treat comes early in the self guided tour: the studio. Here you can take off your shoes to walk on the studio floor filled with paint splatters left from Pollack's drip paintings. The house provides slippers to change into to keep the floor undamaged. It was awesome being in the exact space where Pollock made most of his most famous paintings. A glass case inside houses some of his paint cans and materials that were left behind. I was surprised that there wasn't any art pieces left in the house from either Krasner or Pollock. I know they're really expensive and only in museum collections these days, but there wasn't anything in terms of process or sketches. If you're thinking of making a pilgrimage, keep that in mind.
It's a gorgeous studio where you can see how the studio itself became a work of art and you now have to put on booties over your shoes in order to confront it!
My wife planed this visit while we were on vacation in Montauk in June. It was a very heart wrenching experience. Jackson created his own type of art. He had a loving and supportive wife who lived with him in this very humble farm house. Unfortunately he died in a drunken auto accident with his mistress after his wife left on a trip to Paris. Sadness. The museum has a very interesting building where you can see the paint splashed on the floor where the art was being created. People who are much more familiar than I with Jackson's work say they can see where certain pieces of work were done by the way the paint is splashed on the floor, and by the colors of the paint.
Very Nice piece of history. Loved being able to put booties on and stand on the actual painted floors of his studio.

POLLOCK-KRASNER HOUSE
- Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock
- 830 Springs-Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY 11937-1512
Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American painter and a major figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement. In 1945, Pollock married fellow Abstract Expressionist artist Lee Krasner (1908-1984), who became an important influence on his career. Despite their mutual influence on each other, their relationship and Pollock’s success would somewhat overshadow her career.
With a loan from art dealer Peggy Guggenheim, they moved from New York City to The Springs near East Hampton where they purchased a house and a barn that was turned into a studio.
The house is open to the public, and it contains all the furnishings and artifacts that were in the house at the time of Krasner’s death in 1984. This includes his jazz record collection, the artists’ personal library, and original paintings and prints by Pollock and Krasner. The studio is where Pollock painted his famous poured paintings. He was widely noticed for his technique of pouring or splashing liquid paint onto a horizontal surface enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. The studio floor is covered with evidence of this singular process.
Pollock struggled with alcoholism for most of his life, and in 1956, Pollock died at the age of 44 in a car crash.
In December 1956, after his death, Pollock was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Lee Krasner lived and worked at the house at Springs, splitting her time between it and an apartment in New York, until her death in 1984. The couple are buried next to each other at Green River Cemetery in Springs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JACKSON POLLOCK’S STUDIO FLOOR: A Brief History
The extraordinary artifact that documents many of Pollock’s most famous paintings was revealed during the preparations for opening his former studio—which was used by Lee Krasner after her husband’s death in 1956—as part of a historic site interpreting the two artists’ lives and work. An exhibition of photographs and text panels in the building explains its evolution.
Built as a storage barn for fishing equipment, it stood behind the house, blocking the view of Accabonac Creek. Before converting it as his studio, in June 1946 Pollock had it moved to the north side of the property and had the original concrete floor replaced with wood. On that surface, Pollock refined his singular pouring technique, placing the canvas or other support on the floor and working around it from all four sides, using liquid paint applied with sticks, hardened brushes, and basting syringes. His energetic gestures often extended beyond the support’s edges, leaving colorful overflow from his spontaneous compositions.
Since the building had no electricity or heat, Pollock could not use it after dark or in cold weather. But in the early months of 1953, after a year of exceptionally strong sales, he had the studio renovated. The wood floor was covered with Masonite squares—leftover material from a printing job by his brother Sanford, a professional screen printer—which preserved the evidence of Pollock’s work on that surface. Insulation and Homasote wallboard were installed, and the interior was painted white. A kerosene stove and fluorescent lighting also went in, so he could use the studio year-round and at night.
Sadly, by 1953 Pollock was losing his struggle with alcoholism. His production began to decline, and he stopped painting in 1955. He died the following year in an automobile accident, after which Krasner began using the barn studio. Evidence of her dynamic action-painting technique is visible on the walls. Following her death in 1984, the property was deeded to the Stony Brook Foundation, a non-profit affiliate of Stony Brook University. In the process of converting the property as a public museum and study center, the Masonite covering was removed by conservators, exposing the residue of Pollock’s most innovative and productive years, 1946-52. In several cases, the marks on the floor can be correlated to specific paintings, especially Number 3, 1950, Convergence: Number 10, 1952, and Blue Poles: Number 11, 1952 .

Photographing Jackson Pollock’s Studio Floor
In 1998, I was asked by the Pollock-Krasner House to photograph the floor of Jackson Pollock’s studio for the upcoming Museum of Modern Art’s Jackson Pollock Retrospective. An assistant curator and I discussed different angle views or, possibly, section views, shot directly from above that could be merged to form an overview. Given the dimensions of the space – approximately 20’ x 20’ floor with a maximum ceiling height of 16’ – it was not known, nor easily determined, whether a view of the entire floor surface could be obtained from a point above the center of the floor. If so, an overview would require a 4×5 format for clarity. A working height of at least 12’ – and, practically, no greater than 14’ – would be required.
I spoke to a technician at Schneider Optics, who, after some calculation, was confident that its 47 mm Super-Angulon XL lens would provide the requisite coverage at 12’ above the center point. I arranged to have a sturdy metal frame made to support the weight of a 4×5 camera positioned at 90 degrees to the floor.
Two rafters were placed above the floor to support the metal frame & camera; two additional rafters were also placed half the distance to the walls on either side to support lights. The technician was right – the 47mm just covered the floor area at that height.
Corner to corner sharpness was, of course, a major concern – the film plane would have to be parallel to the floor plane. Adjustments to the metal frame were made with shims. I used the large type of four ‘Postal Express’ envelopes, placed on the floor of opposing walls, to help focus the camera. I used Polaroid negative film and a light box with magnifier to check the focus – a Polaroid proof would not show image sharpness as well as a negative.
Given the structure of the studio, photographing the studio floor would be like photographing a painting at the bottom of a box. I thought that four halogen lamps, clamped to the rafters, and aimed at opposite corners, would give even illumination. Once the lighting was in place, I took light meter readings at the corners, at midpoints of the walls near the floor, as well as at the center of the floor, making adjustments as I proceeded. I used new halogen bulbs in the hope that the color temperatures would be consistent (color temperature of halogen bulbs changes slightly with age). The 47mm lens required the use of a ‘center filter’ — attaching a filter to compensate for color variation would have been difficult under the circumstances. Because the processing lab was over seventy miles away, compounded by practical considerations, it would have been virtually impossible to arrange for a test of film emulsion, desirable when photographing artwork. I would have to do the entire shoot, requiring bracketed exposures, with no opportunity to make adjustments in lighting or exposures.
A twelve-foot ladder was carried back and forth across the floor for each exposure. I used Fuji 64 transparency film and Fuji NPL, a color negative film, both of which, with bracketing, required a total of twelve ladder transports – backing up each exposure with a second, following at least that number for the Polaroid exposures made before the actual film exposures.
I set the camera lens at f/22, and, standing just beyond the doorway into the studio with a bulb cable release, triggered the shutter for each exposure. It should also be noted that given the power requirements for the four halogen lamps, a generator had been set up outdoors for the two-hour shoot, from setting the lights to focusing with Polaroids to making the final exposures on film.
One final note – to see the entire floor, practically speaking, is only possible by looking at the photograph itself. To visit the site, stand in the doorway or walk across the floor, it is not possible to ‘see’ the entire surface. This was true as well for me, the photographer, because the ladder and rafters prevented me from seeing what the camera & film would record once the ladder & photographer had cleared the studio. So, the resultant 4×5 image was a revelation.
Helen Harrison, director the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, assisted me during the shoot.
