An artist making a portrait on the sidewalk at the Washington Square art show, 1945.

The show started in 1931 when Jackson Pollack, desperate for funds, took a few of his paintings down several flights of stairs and set them up for sale on a street near Washington Square Park. His friend Willem de Kooning soon joined him. Their enterprise was noted by some luminaries of the art world as Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, founder of the Whitney Museum of Art, and Alfred H. Barr, Jr., Director of the Museum of Modern Art. They organized the art show that would evolve into the Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit, a twice-a-year happening, every Memorial Day Weekend and the weekend that follows, and every Labor Day Weekend and the weekend that follows.
