Who The Hell is Jackson Pollack?
November 8, 2007

I’ve been a fan of both Jackson Pollack movies from recent years. Both “Pollack” and “Jackson Pollack – Life and Death on Long island” are both revealing looks into the troubled mind of one of America’s greatest artists. I’ve always been fascinated by his life and rise in the art world. A world that he turned his nose up at and yet pursued at the same time.
I think Jackson Pollack would have gotten along well with Teri Horton. Horton is the subject of the documentary “Who The Hell is Jackson Pollack?”, which tells the story of her finding an old painting in a thrift shop that she purchases for a gift for a friend. Turns out the painting might just be an authentic Pollack worth about 50 million bucks.
The film chronicles her effort to have the painting authenticated despite the efforts of a bunch of art world blow hards to prove otherwise. The hard drinking, foul mouthed, feisty former truck driver will not back down and continues her quest by enlisting the help of a forensics lab.
But no matter how much evidence she collects, the establishment will have none of it. Why? Check it out for yourself right here.
