Description: Studio floor used by Jackson Pollock at the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs, New York. The studio is in an old barn behind the house. Pollock had the building moved, put a wood floor down and used it as his primary painting surface from 1946 until his death in 1956. When he renovated in 1953, he put down a masonite covering. Krasner started to use the room in 1957. Upon her death in 1984, ownership was transferred to Stony Brook University, who removed the covering, discovered the old surface, and had it restored in 1987-8.
