This just in from the Harvard University Art Museums. Something about the firmness of the release time info makes me wonder what they've found:
HARVARD UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUMS TO
RELEASE TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS OF PAINTINGS ATTRIBUTED TO JACKSON POLLOCK
CAMBRIDGE, MA (January 22, 2007)—On Monday, January 29, 2007 at
5:00 p.m., the
Harvard University Art Museums will release a report regarding the
institution’s technical
analysis of three of the thirty-two recently discovered works attributed
to artist Jackson
Pollock. As part of their ongoing research, the Art Museums conducted an
independent, pro-bono
analysis of the three paintings between September 2005 and November 2006.
The
research conducted was limited to the scientific analysis of materials,
specifically paint
pigments and binding media (the vehicle in which pigment particles are
suspended to make
paint).
The report will be released to the media via the Harvard University
Art Museums’
website and will not be available to any media outlet before the release
time.
Spokespersons for the Art Museums will not be available for comment or
interviews
until Tuesday, January 30, 2007.
