Blue Poles by Jackson Pollock.
 

 
Blue Poles is an abstract painting from 1952 by the American artist Jackson Pollock, more properly known as Blue Poles: Number 11, 1952, and is considered to be Pollock's most important painting. It is owned by the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.

[edit] National Gallery of Australia purchase

In 1973, the Australian Government purchased the work for the National Gallery of Australia, then called the Australian National Gallery. Its controversial purchase, at the time, for US$2 million ($AUD1.3 million).^[1] by the then Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam elicited an amount of public debate, firstly over the painting's value - (this was a world record for a contemporary American painting)^[2], secondly questioning the financial aptitudes of the then Labor Party, and finally a novel debate between art-lovers and many who considered abstract art in general a worthless investment. In the conservative climate of the time, the purchase created a political and media scandal.^[1]
The painting became one of the most popular exhibits in the gallery and was thought to be worth over $AUD40 million in 2003.^[2] It was a centrepiece of the Museum of Modern Art's 1999 retrospective in New York, the first time the painting had returned to America since its purchase.
Most significantly, for Australians, its 1973 purchase is still frequently cited by the Labor Party faithful as proof of the wisdom of Gough Whitlam. Estimates of the painting's value vary widely, often neglecting factors such as inflation and other conventional forms of investment. However, the painting's increased value has still shown it to have been a worthwhile purchase by financial standards; and there has been a subsequent decline in Australian scepticism about the value of art. ^[3]

Stanley Kubrick was a writer and director famous for movies such as Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. Before he began directing, he was a photographer for LOOK Magazine between 1945 and 1950. The Museum of the City of New York and VandM have recently chosen 25 of Kubrick’s photographs out of 10,000 negatives to sell, with the majority of the proceeds going to the Museum of the City of New York.
