PC Moment: World-renowned painter and perhaps one of the most influential artists in the Abstract Expressionist movement, Jackson Pollock has without a doubt made an incredible stamp on the scene — especially during an intense — albeit brief — period when the mastermind created a vast series of black paintings from 1951 to 1953. Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots, recently unveiled by the Dallas Museum of Art, is one of the largest exhibitions of Pollock’s black paintings ever assembled. For the opening night, sponsored by Bottega Veneta, guests packed the museum for an electrically charged celebration. Running through Sunday, March 20, the exhibit is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
