Ruth Kligman (1930 – 2010) was an abstract artist who lived and worked primarily in New York City. She was an important muse to several modern American artists, including most notably Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. This memoir is about her relationship with Pollock and describes their passionate and tumultuous relationship with candor and sensitivity, which ended abruptly and tragically when she and Pollock were driving to a party and had an accident, fatally taking his life, the life of their fellow passenger Edith Metzger, and seriously injuring Kligman.
