Dear Art Educators,

For those who like to bring current events into the classroom - and
make connections to science.

Harvard Analysis Casts Doubt on Works Said to Be Pollocks
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/30/us/30pollock.html?th&emc=th
By RANDY KENNEDY
Published: January 30, 2007

"A yearlong scientific analysis by the Harvard University Art Museums
of three paintings discovered in 2003 and considered to be possible
works by Jackson Pollock has found that some of the pigments used in
the paints were not patented or commercially available until long
after Pollock died in 1956."
