Signing “L.K.” instead of a name
She often does not sign her works at all, signs with the gender-neutral initials “L.K.”, or blends her signature into the painting so as not to emphasize that she is a woman and the wife of another painter.
1949
Exhibition “Artists: Man and Wife”
With Pollock she takes part in a group exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery as “Mrs. Jackson Pollock”; an ARTnews reviewer writes that such wives “tidy up” their husbands’ styles, turning his unrestrained lines into neat little squares and triangles.

Betty Parsons visits her studio
The gallerist Betty Parsons, visiting The Springs, sees Krasner’s large black-and-white “automatic” figures and offers her a show; by the time of the exhibition the artist has shifted to colour field painting and destroyed these figurative works.
