Jackson Pollock actually has 2 works that are titled “Number 1.” The first, which was the inspiration for this Punk was painted in 1948. The second was painted in 1949. “Number 1, 1948” was so unique and ahead of its time, that it did not sell as audiences were taken aback at its boldness. When Jackson Pollock painted his second “Number 1” in 1949, he renamed this piece “Number 1A to avoid confusion for buyers. Number 1A is an awe-inspiring piece. Not only did Pollock use a variety of colors, but he also used a variety of matte, glossy, enamel, acrylic and oil based paints. It was eventually purchased by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and remains on display there.
