A New Joint Artist Residency for Pollock-Krasner House and Elaine de Kooning House

The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center and the Elaine de Kooning House have joined forces to co-produce a special artist-in-residence program that launched in July. The two historic sites, former homes and studios to three of the most influential painters in American history, will welcome Quebecois painter Marie-Claire Chabauty to complete a portfolio of architectural portraits of each property.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with the Elaine de Kooning House,” said Pollock-Krasner House Director Matthew K. Ward, “and Marie-Claire is the perfect artist to sensitively capture the character of our sister studios.”

“We’re honored to collaborate with the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. I’ve been a fan of the historic studio and accompanying programming since first visiting in 1998 — I look forward to working with Matt and Marie-Claire,” adds Chris Byrne, founder of the Elaine de Kooning House.

Both the Pollock-Krasner House and the Elaine de Kooning House are members of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios program and plan to continue their working relationship on future residencies and projects. Their first joint initiative will culminate in a 2025 exhibition of Chabauty’s work at the Pollock-Krasner House, as well as a corresponding publication produced by both sites.

The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center is a National Historic Landmark and the former home and studio of artists Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner. Located at 830 Springs Fireplace Road in the East Hampton hamlet of Springs. The PK House connects visitors with the pioneering legacies of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner through tours, exhibitions, events and programs. The residence is a founding member of Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
