Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner Used This N.Y.C. Townhouse as a Studio

In the early 1950s, abstract expressionist painters Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock borrowed a former carriage house in New York’s Greenwich Village from their friend and benefactor Alfonso Ossorio, using it as a shared studio. A well-to-do painter, arts patron, and collector, Ossorio cofounded the short-lived but influential Signa Gallery in East Hampton in 1957 and once owned the Creeks, a 57-acre estate now belonging to former Revlon chairman and prolific contemporary art collector
