Ruth Kligman/Jackson Pollock Scandal in the Art World










Ruth Kligman, the 26-year-old bombshell who seduced the Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock in 1956, has returned from the grave with a new scandal. Kligman died in 2010 at the age of 80. Does Kligman's estate own the last Jackson Pollock ever painted, which Kligman claims she coaxed him to do in the last month of his troubled life?

 

Please check out the article in the September 2012 issue in Vanity Fair, which chronicles the scandal. Is Jackson Pollock's last painting real or not?
