Painting (Silver over Black, White, Yellow and Red) is a 1948 artwork painted by Jackson Pollock in 1948. He painted it by dripping small dots and pouring thin lines of paint over a dyed red piece of fabric.[1]

Sometime prior to April 1949, Pollock traded the painting to Dan Miller, the shopkeeper of Springs General Store, in East Hampton, New York, as payment for a grocery bill.[2][3] Since the painting is no longer there, the shop now displays a poster of it.[4][3]

Currently, the painting is kept at the Centre Pompidou, in Metz, France.[1] In 2012–2013, it was part of the exhibition "Explosion! The Legacy of Jackson Pollock" at the Fundació Miró in Barcelona, curated by Magnus af Petersens.[5]
