Krasner repurposed this large canvas when she painted over an earlier composition that dissatisfied her.
After the death of her husband Jackson Pollock, Krasner took over his studio located in a barn on their property. With this expansion of studio space, she began creating large-scale paintings like Celebration,using expansive gestures to express her feelings on canvas.
