===Influence===
Pollock's staining into raw canvas was adapted by the [[Color Field]] painters [[Helen Frankenthaler]] and [[Morris Louis]]. [[Frank Stella]] made "all-over composition" a hallmark of his works of the 1960s. [[Joseph Glasco]] was introduced to Pollock by Alfonso Ossorio in 1949.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Raeburn |first=Michael |title=Joseph Glasco: The Fifteenth American |publisher=Cacklegoose Press |year=2015 |isbn=9781611688542 |location=London |pages=62 |language=English}}</ref>  Throughout his life, Glasco continued to reflect on Pollock’s artistic influence, particularly in the early to mid-1970s when his style changed to all-over collage paintings with their emphasis on rhythm and process.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Raeburn |first=Michael |title=Joseph Glasco: The Fifteenth American |publisher=Cacklegoose Press |year=2015 |isbn=9781611688542 |location=London |pages=55, multiple |language=English}}</ref> The [[Happenings]] artist [[Allan Kaprow]], sculptors [[Richard Serra]] and [[Eva Hesse]], and many contemporary artists have retained Pollock's emphasis on the process of creation; they were influenced by his approach to the process, rather than the look of his work.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jackson Pollock's Unique Style|url = http://www.jackson-pollock.com/uniquestyle.html}}</ref>

In 2004, ''One: Number 31, 1950'' was ranked the eighth-most influential piece of modern art in a poll of 500 artists, curators, critics, and dealers.<ref name=guard1>{{Cite web | url = https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/dec/02/arts.artsnews1 | title = Work of art that inspired a movement ... a urinal | last = Higgins | first = Charlotte | date = December 2, 2004 | work = [[The Guardian]] | access-date = July 20, 2014}}</ref>

===In pop culture and media===
In the early 1990s, three groups of movie makers were developing Pollock biographical projects, each based on a different source. The project that at first seemed most advanced was a joint venture between [[Barbra Streisand]]'s Barwood Films and [[Robert De Niro]]'s [[TriBeCa Productions]] (De Niro's parents were friends of Krasner and Pollock). The script, by Christopher Cleveland, was to be based on [[Jeffrey Potter]]'s 1985 oral biography, ''To a Violent Grave'', a collection of reminiscences by Pollock's friends. Streisand was to play the role of Lee Krasner, and De Niro was to portray Pollock. A second was to be based on ''Love Affair'' (1974), a memoir by [[Ruth Kligman]], who was Pollock's lover in the six months before his death. This was to be directed by [[Harold Becker]], with [[Al Pacino]] playing Pollock.<ref name="Race Is On to Portray Pollock">Carol Strickland (July 25, 1993), [https://www.nytimes.com/1993/07/25/nyregion/race-is-on-to-portray-pollock.html "Race Is On to Portray Pollock"], ''The New York Times''.</ref>

In 2000, the biographical film ''[[Pollock (film)|Pollock]]'', based on the [[Pulitzer Prize]]-winning biography, ''[[Jackson Pollock: An American Saga]]'', directed by and starring [[Ed Harris]], was released. [[Marcia Gay Harden]] won the [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress]] for her portrayal of Lee Krasner. The movie was the project of Harris, who was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]]. Harris himself painted the works seen in the film.<ref name="interview">[http://www.dvdtalk.com/interviews/actor_ed_harris.html Interview with Ed Harris] at DVDtalk</ref> The Pollock-Krasner Foundation did not authorize or collaborate with any production.<ref name="Race Is On to Portray Pollock" />

In September 2009, the art historian Henry Adams claimed in ''[[Smithsonian (magazine)|Smithsonian]]'' magazine that Pollock had written his name in his famous painting ''Mural'' (1943).<ref>[http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Decoding-Jackson-Pollock.html smithsonianmag.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213033957/http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Decoding-Jackson-Pollock.html |date=December 13, 2013 }}, Henry Adams, "Decoding Jackson Pollock", ''Smithsonian Magazine'', September 2009.</ref> The painting is now insured for US$140 million. In 2011, the Republican Iowa State Representative [[Scott Raecker]] introduced a bill to force the sale of the artwork, held by the University of Iowa, to fund scholarships, but his bill created such controversy that it was quickly withdrawn.<ref name="Los Angeles Times" /><ref>Michael Winter (February 9, 2011), [http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/02/iowa-lawmaker-proposes-selling-pollock-masterpiece-to-fund-scholarships/1 "Iowa lawmaker proposes selling Pollock masterpiece to fund scholarships"], ''[[USA Today]]''.</ref>

One of Jackson Pollock's works is featured heavily in the film [[Ex Machina (film)|Ex Machina]]. A pivotal scene in the film contains a monologue where antagonist Nathan Bateman describes the central challenge of artificial intelligence as engineering a cognitive state that is "not deliberate, not random, but somewhere in between," which he likens to the cognitive state Pollock achieves while painting.

===Art market===
In 1973, ''[[Number 11, 1952 (painting)|Number 11, 1952]]'' (also known as ''[[Blue Poles]]'') was purchased by the Australian [[Gough Whitlam]] government for the [[National Gallery of Australia]] for US$2 million (A$1.3 million at the time of payment). This was the highest price ever paid for a modern painting and the painting is now one of the most popular exhibits.<ref name="Canberra">{{cite news |url= http://canberra.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=news&subclass=general&story_id=528424&category=General&m=11&y=2006 |title= Our Poles world's top-priced painting? |date= November 4, 2006 |publisher= The Canberra Times |access-date= December 2, 2018 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071014054858/http://canberra.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=news&subclass=general&story_id=528424&category=General&m=11&y=2006 |archive-date= October 14, 2007 |url-status= dead }}</ref> The artwork contains only a fleeting reference to the ''real world'' and ''[[Blue Poles]]'' has become the flagship of autonomous art.<ref>{{cite book | author1= Pam Meecham | author2= Julie Sheldon |title=Modern Art: A Critical Introduction |publisher= Taylor & Francis |year=2013 |page=14 |isbn=9781317972464 }}</ref> ''[[Blue Poles]]'' was a centerpiece of the [[Museum of Modern Art]]'s 1998 retrospective in New York, the first time the painting had been shown in America since its purchase.

In November 2006, Pollock's ''[[No. 5, 1948]]'' became the world's most expensive painting, when it was sold privately to an undisclosed buyer for the sum of US$140 million. Another artist record was established in 2004, when ''No. 12'' (1949), a medium-sized drip painting that had been shown in the United States Pavilion at the 1950 [[Venice Biennale]], fetched US$11.7 million at [[Christie's]], New York.<ref>[http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4288617 Jackson Pollock, ''No. 12'' (1949)] [[Christie's]] New York, May 11, 2004.</ref> In 2012, ''Number 28, 1951'', one of the artist's combinations of drip and brushwork in shades of silvery gray with red, yellow, and shots of blue and white, also sold at Christie's, New York, for US$20.5 million—US$23 million with fees—within its estimated range of US$20 million to US$30 million.<ref>Carol Vogel (May 8, 2012), [https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/09/arts/design/rothko-painting-sells-for-record-nearly-87-million-at-christies.html "Record Sales for a Rothko and Other Art at Christie's"], ''The New York Times''.</ref>

In 2013, Pollock's ''Number 19'' (1948) was sold by Christie's for a reported US$58,363,750 during an auction that ultimately reached US$495 million total sales in one night, which Christie's reports as a record to date as the most expensive auction of contemporary art.<ref>{{cite web |last=Vartanian |first=Hrag |title=Historic Night at Christie's as 12 Post-War Artists Set Records, Biggest Sale in History |url=http://hyperallergic.com/71179/record-night-at-christies-as-12-post-war-artists-set-auction-records/ |publisher=Hyperallergic |access-date=May 18, 2013|date=May 16, 2013 }}</ref>

In February 2016, Bloomberg News reported that [[Kenneth C.
