Why is Jackson Pollack's art so valuable?

I agree. I think his work sucks. along with de kooning, rauchenberg, potortf, Warhol. They all did art that hadnt been done before..... by an adult that is.... The only thing that made pop art art was

was the elitism generated by the artist and their cronies. Creating value from work by networking, rhetoric, and making statements about other pop artists, and being bold enough to be famous and paint like a 4 year old.

BECAUSE if u actually saw one of his works- like blue poles on display at the national art gallery in canberra, then the sheer size and the amazing textures that he uses are brilliant and incredible. Each of the layers is carefuly planned out, and he only paints when he is "in the zone"" concerquently, his works tak a very long time to create.

No you couldn't. It's as simple as that. He didn't make a mess he put the paint where he wanted it he didn't just throw it on a page randomly and he was a visionary who pushed the boundaries of fine art. His works sell for so much because he is an icon.

He was the first of his time to create his style of art.

You really need to understand the evolution of art in order to appreciate the styles that are out there- whether you like them or not.

It's good, and you couldn't

Someone dug up a crate load of "Pollocks" a little while back; I could see they weren't for real because they weren't any good. But the experts took them seriously until someone used fractal analysis to show they didn't really capture his style.

beats me.I have a sort of nostalgia for jackson pollock.my idea of modern art is damien hirst eviscerated and whatshername made to eat it.but that would be hard to sell.(yes you could ; that ,is the point..as, you know.)
