Andy Warhol's fascination with Jackson Pollock is well known; his obsession with having one of his works in his extensive art collection, as well as the relationship between his famous car crash series and the notorious accident that ended Pollock's life one night in August 1956.

The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza is organising an exhibition which brings together the work of these two key names of 20th-century art, shown alongside that of other artists who were reconsidering issues relating to the new spatial strategies at this same time. These are two extraordinarily complex figures, seemingly very different but in fact united, like an entire generation of artists, by their interest in change in the pictorial tradition, spatial issues and a fascination with large formats.
