LEE KRASNER; LIVING COLOUR<br />
Where? Barbican Centre<br />
When? 30 <strong>May</strong>-1 September<br />

husband, Jackson Pollack – but not for<br />
much longer. The Barbican’s summer<br />
exhibition will bring Krasner’s bold,<br />
bright canvases to the fore, revealing<br />
her as a true pioneer of Abstract<br />
Expressionism. With nearly 100 works<br />
Lee Krasner<br />
Beasts of London<br />
on display, this will be one of the most<br />
far-reaching Krasner retrospectives to<br />
date. barbican.org.uk<br />

and talent that brought them to<br />
life. With insight from rare artefacts,<br />
interviews and unseen footage, this<br />
is a fascinating deep-dive into the<br />
director’s obsessive genius – a mustsee<br />
for any film fan.<br />
