Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was a reclusive abstract American painter who was well known for his drip paintings.
Pollock's art was briefly mentioned in an episode of Sex and the City while Charlotte was a curator. Most recently his art was the target of a heist in the movie Contraband starring Mark Wahlberg.
In November 2006 Pollock's painting No. 5 1948 became the world's most expensive painting to be ever sold. It was sold to a private buyer at a rumor cost of $140,000,000.00 dollars, yeah thats 140 millions dollars.
