Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 25 works by Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Pollock's drip paintings are large — made to be walked around and viewed from different distances — and their complexity is physical as well as visual. In person, the layers of poured paint have a depth and three-dimensionality that no photograph can capture.
