The first full-scale retrospective devoted to the late New York School painter Lee Krasner premieres Sunday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Organized by Independent Curators International, the survey will trace the artist’s development from an early self-portrait to her later paintings and collages. Although Krasner has long been overshadowed by her famous husband, Jackson Pollock, this exhibition examines her importance as a painter in her own right.
