"Jack the Dripper", also known as Jackson Pollack is a very recognizable name when it comes to abstract expressionism. He seems to be most famous for his paintings that showcase his "Drip Technique". After looking through a lot of his pieces the one that jumped out to me the most was entitled No.5, 1948. I really enjoy the painting because of the color and organized fashion that it presents, even though it seems to be all over the place. It looks like a painting that someone without such artistic talent could attempt to replicate, however I think would fail miserably because people don't understand the time and effort that goes into these "drips".
Apparently it was very popular with many other people and was was sold to an anonymous buyer for a record breaking US $140 million.
