Description:
The captivating story behind the iconic Blue Poles - the painter, the process, the patronage, the politics and the national scandal.In 1973, Blue Poles, the iconic painting by America's great abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock, was acquired by the Australian government for A$1.4 million. This record-setting price for an artwork sparked a media sensation and controversy both in Australia and the United States.Blue Poles: Jackson Pollock, Gough Whitlam and the painting that changed a nation details how Jackson Pollock rose to fame, the negotiations that led to the artwork's move to the National Gallery of Australia, and the many successes and turbulent turns in between.This story covers Pollock's entree into an art circle which included renowned patron Peggy Guggenheim, as well as his relationship with artist Lee Krasner, and the larger-than-life accounts that surrounded his artistic practice - including questions around the creation of Blue Poles.It was Gough Whitlam's commitment to the arts and cultural capital that would see the painting move to another continent, where the media feasted on stories of its cost and brows were raised over its merit. The value of Blue Poles to the Australian art and museum landscape was yet to be foreseen. Journalist Tom McIlroy tells a compelling account of one of Australia's most prized paintings, which stirred up many storms from the time of its creation to its placement in the NGA.

Worked great for the 4 months it lasted
Color: Green/Battery
I liked this can opener a lot when I first got it. It was easy to use, and it left smooth edges after opening the can. I also liked the fact the batteries were replaceable. However, after 4 months it stopped opening the cans. It just went around and around the edges. I tried replacing the batteries but it did not help. I plan to replace it with a different brand.
