The Pollock-Krasner House

SUNY Stony Brook University owns the Pollock-Krasner House, the East Hampton home of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner. Every semester the Art History Department hosts what they call an "arm chair chat" with a distinguished speaker and a pot luck dinner. It is a great opportunity for the graduate students and the professors to socialize in an informal setting. It began with one of the most defining art historians of the twentieth  century, Clement Greenburg. This year Ann Gibson a distinguished professor at the University of Delaware was the speaker and she gave a speech in entitled After Postmodernism. It was particularly enlightening as I was definitely not well versed in this area of history as it is still developing. Despite that fact there is still significant scholarship in this area I had not heard most of this information. Although it was an all day event and I am always pressed for time it was a wonderful day!
