Taking Up Where Jackson Pollock Left Off

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

If by "carrying on" you mean perpetuating a fraud, then, yes, that is what you are doing.

[artistdalehammond]

One of the most common comments made about Teri's Pollock is that it's not like Pollock painted. But close-up photos have shown that Teri's painting is very much like the true Pollock style. Pollock did make globs of paint. Some of these globs were so thick the museums had to draw the wet paint out with hypodermic needles and fill the empty spaces with foam. And then there's the matter of the fingerprint. I can't judge Mr. Brown's real motivation for doing these but I wonder.

[closer71]

"Could be" yours? What artist doesn't know his own work? You're a supercilious cunt.

[JimSullivanart]

Frank you lost me with the title of this VID, are you drunk in this thing?

[MrSueVeneer]

Pollock had reached his ultimate statement, his suicide!

[ammusi]

"It COULD be mine."

Wouldn't you remember something you made?

[themariacomplex]

Science has proven that Jackson Pollock painted Teri Horton painting. This guy wishes he was as talented as Pollock was.

[prsonet]

This man is some what confused as jackson said himself there are no mistakes in his work. Justa another wannabbeeeeeeee

[SuperJohnyyy]

i like his work man my wife left me so i did a pollocks style on all the paintings in my house and they look great thinhing of doing a wall in house if poss

[heinrichtoll]

Oh my God!!!, from what planet did this people came from? The video is very naive.

[royamd]

This guy does not understand art because the abstract art from Pollock is only Pollock's. I believe is strange for anybody else to perceived, what Pollock's humanity and essence was. No one else should take from where Pollock left off, or any other artist for that matter because no one else perceives visual forms as another person or artist would. in this case I affirm that everyone is unique and there is (was) only one Jackson Pollock.

[airamanno]

No, No, No take this trashy clip away, it's an offence for Jackson Pollock

[ricclifton]

this guy is not continuing where pollock left off. there is no emotion or meaning behind what he is doing. there is nothing raw about this.

[haoqh]

I think he's jealous.

He just can't stand the fact that someone may be a bajillionaire for owning a Pollack, who he deeply admires.

[WiseMD]

this guy sucks. he has no right to be used in the same sentence as pollock. teri horton's painting has a pollock fingerprint on it so....2 and 2 together. this guys blows, knows nothing.

[cspace1234nz]

So funny to see comments like one clown here who insists that this work requires no skill.

I suggest anyone have a go at getting up every morning and painting something, anything, on a regular basis let alone for decades as this guy has.

Like his work or not he is clearly dedicated to his art and expresses himself in the appropriate way. If it's pretty pictures you want go and but a nice calendar !

My view....his work is very cool.

[snksone]

i think your a pretty cracked out painter if you cant even remember your own work....if someone showed me my own art in some form or another, i could almost guarantee i would be able to recognize it

[purptoker]

man that looks like something you put on a modern birthday cake, this stuff requires no skill.

[mysticspiritman]

i would say he is doing is own work.

he is happy. but the inner jonrey of pollock

his deaph his complet enagement on so many leavels is something unique...

there is splatter painting and then there is introjection complete absorption allmost altered states of ingagment...and then the intelectual awareness of the deep procces of the energitic experince...

[shelaughs]

Response Part 2.)

She has already been offered several million dollars for the painting and had refused all of them, last I heard. Because she is not a member of the art world's "elite", they want to "discredit" its' authenticity for now so as to be able to acquire it for relative peanuts compared to its actual worth, and re-sell it high once it is suddenly accepted into the very closed art community. It is widely (if not yet "officially") acknowledged to be an authentic Jackson Pollack.

[shelaughs]

Response Part 1.)

You did NOT paint Terri Horton's Pollack. It has already been scientifically authenticated by the world's leading and most accredited art forensics investigator. Among other compelling authenticating points, the most valued is; Terri Horton's painting has a fingerprint on the canvas that has been Proven to be Jackson Pollack's . How do you want to try and explain that one away?

[versaboy8]

Take it from anyone who knows Pollock's work. This man did not paint Teri Hortons Pollock, besides most artist can remember ther own creations,and I am wondering why so many in the art world are claiming that Teri Hortons painting is a fake. Is it not true that the Pollocks finger print was found before the investigator went to the studio and found the paint can with Pollock print and in his research the paintdrips on Hortons painting are a match to some on Pollocks studio floor.

[doublenelix]

brilliant

[imreachart]

this old man seems like he paints for the hell of it...

lame.

[Speedofsmell]

stump i think the whole idea behind pollocks drip paintings was there wasnt supposed to be any content most of his pre drip paintings are awesome along with de kooning and kazinsky

[stumptacular]

if u are going to make a lifes career out of stealing another artists concept... at least choose an artist that wasnt a sham/formula.

there is no content in splashing things until they look pretty...

pure decorative garbage. at least pollock was the first drunk drip painter... shlda been the last.

[pedazoeputo]

you are very far from pollock s work!!!!!!!!dont name him until learn more from his work ,you must have a little bit respet to him!!!!!

[nothate]

your shit sucks you dont even drip you just do lots of splat dots he did drips and would throw his pant all you do is take a prush ad proble flick it of ur hand and let the dots go everwhere and that pic looks lik a pollick now ur gay shit

[sheepsbunnet]

it is abstract as it is not stract

it is art as it is human expression

his paintings look good, no denying that.

true artist paint for themselves not for others. think pollock would have approved of those yet not given a damn. most of you just don't get it. you are the imitators not him, the painter is doing what compels him. keep painting painter, you are a painter.

[johnnyherb]

'...I'm sure he hadn't really reached his ultimate statement.......so.......errrr­...."

So this guy thinks he can 'do' the ultimate statement. How the hell does he know what Pollock was going to do? Pollock began to go in different directions before he died so all this guy is doing is 'carrying on' (imitating) Pollocks most popular and acclaimed period.

The whole thing is utterly ridiculous, how does this guy sleep at night!!!!?

[fineartregistry]

Why don't you upload a video of your artwork? I'd love to see what you can do.

[yohlandi]

I'm sorry i have to agree, this poor old man is delusional, the whole thing is somewhere between depressingly embarrassing and completely laughable

[iDraw3G]

@fineartregistry Is that what you say to a critic: "Well...uh...I'd like to see your work!" lol

[Lanthanideatoms]

@johnnyherb ...people who can't do something themselves like to say shit to those who can - You're pathetic "johnnyherb"... how do YOU sleep at night, knowing you got no talents?

[ThomGreen666]

Spoon. You've gone for the obvious, you don't need drip paintings to carry on from pollock. Try and understand Rothko's classic works. Pure abstraction, as with pollock.

[deznuts1980]

Jackson Pollock FINGERPRINT IS ON THE BACK OF THIS painting

[fineartregistry]

I wonder how you would know? Especially as there are no known exemplars of Pollock's fingerprints. The whole subject of Biro's so-called forensic examination is being looked into by some real experts. Stay tuned.

[deznuts1980]

THANK ABOUT IT, YOUR IN A ROOM THROWING PAINT AROUND AND IT GETS EVERYWHERE PAINT CANS HANDS FINGERS. GO IN A PAINT BOOTH AT A BODY SHOP AND LOOK FOR PRINTS ON THE PAINT GUN FLOOR CANS . A PRINT WAS FOUND IN POLLOCKS STUDIO ON A PAINT CAN AND ON A KNOWN PALLOCK . THIS PRINT WAS ALSO FOUND ON Teri Horton's PAINTING SHE WAS ALSO OfferED 9 MILLION FOR IT SHE DID NOT SELL

[fineartregistry]

Keep your eyes open for the report on this.

As for the $9 million, have you seen the offer in writing? Do you think she would turn down $9 million if it was a firm offer? Come on!

[michaeld82]

she could if others are going for 50

[63ka14tn]

watch the movie "who the #%@& is Jackson Pollack?" its about teri hortons and the offers shes received and whether or not its a pollack or not

[cowgirlgaby]

@deznuts1980 OH WOW i guess if it's in a known Pallock, then it's ok

[JohhnyKash]

"wanted to continue on where jackson pollock left off", is simply want, not need. and without need there's no need for art. (all we get's illustration like this) bob dylan, dealing with the ghost of guthrie argued, don't do what they did; go to the places where they did it, and do it your way.

[ericarmstrong1]

There's a reason why this guy finds his own paintings in thrift shops: he has none of the soul, none of the immersion of himself in the paintings that Pollock had. He's a hack who merely throws paint around and hopes for the best. There have been tons of Pollock imitators, but that's all they are. Same thing with those who tried to do what Mark Rothko did - there's no substitute for the sheer inspiration that led them to create their art.

[balarat84]

I agree, if your a true artist CREATE YOUR OWN !

[mackengary]

nope better to have good fake than bad orriginal you no i paint to and and some times i put figure of somebody else in my paintig but afcourse it becomes something else if you at the and of the whole picture but i agree this a bit to much of a fake the only new thing is its more collour full but yeah i'll he got fames with a fake styl i think that's something to be proud off

[jeffreycollins]

Amen brother! Those paintings are cheap imitations of Pollock.

[JayZoop]

Whoever did that $5 painting, it actually sucks to look at. It lacks that smoothly flowing feel that Pollack did. Apparently a fingerprint proved he did it. But I think it was a painting Pollack wasn't very fond of. Everybody has off days.

[fineartregistry]

The fingerprint "evidence" is very questionable. Unfortunately Teri Horton and Paul Biro will not make their "evidence" available for peer review, which is very normal with forensic evidence, so it remains a mystery. But it's unlikely anyone is going to hand over $50 million for something that is so questionable.

[JayZoop]

on the $5 painting those curved white lines are so ugly and distracting. The edge of the painting doesn't look right. Shouldn't more of the lines appear to go off the paper. It's almost this painted tried to stay on the canvas as much as possible.

[fineartregistry]

Yes, as Frankie says, if it IS one of his, it's not very good and looks unfinished.

[jason91781]

umm, teri's hideous painting is definitely different looking than the brown paintings.  teri's plainly looks more like a pollock than a brown. whether or not her's is a pollock, i don't know, but it definitely doesn't look like any one of these.

[ratherthan]

So it's his... so what? No one would pay $50 million for it, then.

[fineartregistry]

You're right. His go for a couple of grand.

[retread01]

Marvellous.

[ChrisSketch]

I haven't seen the the documentary yet, but didn't they actually confirm the Pollock with fingerprint evidence? I would trust that before the possibly faulty memory of one artist. No offense meant to Brown of course.

[fineartregistry]

The fingerprint "evidence" is very iffy and the person who published the forensic "evidence" has not allowed other experts to check his work, nor has he provided his own qualifications. It's very dubious. You can read more about it on the Fine Art Registry website. There's an article called "Review of Fingerprints in Teri Horton Alleged Jackson Pollock Case Casts Doubt on the Forensic Evidence Provided by Peter Paul Biro

[michaeld82]

i just saw the movie. the expert DID bring another expert from Montreal and they showed both fingerprints side by side and they were exact. thats good enough for me.

[fineartregistry]

You mean André Turcotte? The "expert" who insists on remaining anonymous and cannot be found or reached? You know, real fingerprint experts are open about their work and very willing to share with others and get their opinions. I won't comment on the "match" in the movie but I suggest you watch it again a bit more carefully.

[michaeld82]

to be honest, i don't care if he had a PhD or was just a talented enthusiast, he dissected the prints side by side in layman's terms and they looked exact and i don't need to see it again to tell you that. whether he is a fraud or not, or the painting is Pollocks, i don't know, but neither do you.

[fineartregistry]

We're finding out though. There's another possible Pollock, where Biro found the SAME fingerprint on the back and thus "authenticated" it. The owners of this one are open to sidecheck so we have retained a fingerprint expert (a real one) to check this. We went with him to the Pollock Krasner House to photograph the same prints Biro used for "authenticating" the Horton one. You can read about it on the FAR website if you want to

[balarat84]

jackson was not doing what you are doing in the mid 50s before hes death he was doing the black and white series, hes drip paintings was something he was moving away from because of hes anger of the the new and up and coming artists of clifford still

[ikbleu]

pollock didnt paint for 18 months before his death

[balarat84]

Before hes death he was doing blk and white paintings, true not up to hes date of death but before hes death he did a series of blk and white paintings.
