postart, is this for real?

[patelanm]

was just wondering if anyone new anything about this? i picked it up at the local thriftshop. it has 'pollock' written on the back of the piece in pencil. the 'JP' signature looked similar to the way Jim Pollock (phish artist) signed his posters with. regardless of who made it i think it looked cool. if anyone knows the real artist or anything else about this please share...thanks

I'm guessing it's not Jim Pollock who does Phish prints.

I think there may be more than one Pollock in the U.S.

It is probably the Jim Pollock that actually is trained as an artist and celebrated as an award winning artist and teacher...(i.e. not the self-trained lot artist for Phish that was Page's friend and eventually made it to the payroll of Dry Goods)

Nice find!

who said it was from a 'Jim Pollock' doesn't it simply say Pollock on the back.

I don't think this should be included on EB as being from JP.

I'm pretty sure Jackson Pollock did this. Either him, or actor/comedian Kevin Pollak.

Jim Pollock is a graduate of The Art Institute of Chicago.

Jim lived with Page in college and played/wrote music for the band before ever making the payroll. Dry Goods didn't even exist when Pollock started creating work for them. And yes, Jim is formally trained at both the School of the Art Institute of Chicago along with Northeastern Illinois University.

Not a Pollock due to the fact Jim didn't sign his pieces with the carved signature "JP" until the 90's. Not to mention this piece is date '77 which seeing as Jim's 43 now, would've made him 13 when he produced this.

so....are you saying this should be listed under Not Pollock?

actually, the submitter said it *may* be dated '97, the lettering isn't clear.
