Crossed Borders

There are many highlights in this crowded treasure trove. Particularly fine is the marvelous 1951 untitled oil painting by Franz Kline. It's classic Kline, with black slashes across a white ground. There are four important and early Willem de Kooning paintings, including the remarkable "Woman," done in 1946. Jackson Pollock, Richard Diebenkorn and Gene Davis are also represented.

The closing of the Poindexter is doubly sad. Not only will the hoard be carted back to the basement storerooms of the MHS, but the closing is the last curtain call for Nancy Tieken, the former DAM adjunct curator who organized the show. Tieken now lives in Boston and will never again grace the DAM with the high-quality exhibits that were her signature.
