The Missing Pollock
by Wen Rui
About This Novel
Pollock's world-famous "Drip Paintings" are the most distinctive banner of modern American art. Half a century later, his abstract expressionist works are still shining brightly in art galleries. The suspenseful mystery novel "The Vanishing Pollock" begins with clues from six of Pollock's drip paintings, starting an artistic pursuit with twists and turns and many crises. It combines various styles such as detective, thriller and conspiracy theory to stimulate readers' general interest in modern art. The author has a professional academic background in art history research. The work cites a large amount of modern art history knowledge and related historical anecdotes and unofficial history. It also brilliantly presents the entry of artworks into the financial market and the resulting art crimes. Historical facts and suspense are intertwined, and art and horror are perfectly integrated, making the novel seem to break the boundaries between history and fiction to a certain extent. The plots are interlocking, with multiple twists and turns, and the ending is unexpected. Its brain-burning level is no less than that of the Hollywood blockbusters "Dragnet", "Trap" and the "Arhat" series.
