Much of the value of Pollock's work is that he did that kind of work first. Though I'm not sure why he had to repeat himself once he made his first action painting. I have a lot more respect for artists like Marcel Duchamp, who was always developing in radically new directions and did not like to repeat himself, in great contrast to one-trick ponies like Pollock.
