[|__Jackson Pollock__](1912-1956) is regarded as the undisputed leader of the Abstract Expressionist movement. In 1945, he married fellow artist [|__Lee Krasner__](1908-1984) and moved from New York City to Long Island's East End. With a loan from art dealer Peggy Guggenheim, they purchased a small homestead on one and a quarter acres overlooking Accabonac Creek in [|__The Springs, near East Hampton__]. Here, in this serene community of farmers and baymen, Pollock created his masterpieces - works whose innovative style and technique stunned the art world and continue to challenge viewers today.

The preservation and development of this unique site has been undertaken by the Stony Brook Foundation, Inc., a non-profit affiliate of [|__Stony Brook University__], one of four university centers of the State University of New York. To meet its operating expenses, the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center depends entirely on donations through the Stony Brook Foundation.
