Mentored by acclaimed painter, Adolf Gottlieb, Krumm had taught at Hunter College, Pratt Institute, NYU, and lectured at Princeton University.
In the 1960's, Krumm created Creative Research in Art and Media, CRAM, where he used film techniques to disseminate information.
Reemerging from decades of anonymity, Krumm's work revives his contemporary roots connecting the past and future evoking a nomadic journey of personal evolution that is the perpetual plight of the American, a theme that has resonated throughout the history of American art.
Embracing new-media technologies for advertising, marketing, and publicity, the American Pavilion will present a new PBS one hour long documentary "
West Encounters East, " by producer Linda Corley and sponsored by Stella Holmes, an arts patron who first brought the gallery nights to the Financial District in Brickell, Miami.
"West Encounters East, " focuses on the power of the Eastern aesthetic on today's Western world and documents how art fairs such as Basel and Shanghai have globally become a barometer of the buying trends of the art world.
Corley and Holmes feel it imperative to document what the big leaguers are saying about the emerging art scene in Asia.
"It makes perfect sense to begin documenting where it all has started, it's crucial to find out how India, China and Japan are holding their own among the giants of the art scene," says Holmes.

An innovative opportunity for artists and young American galleries is currently on the market at the American Pavilion with 10-solo exhibition booths that will be available for those who demonstrate the ability to communicate the visual language and personality of the urban American cities to the Chinese market.
"We are accepting all mediums with an emphasis on new media and multidisciplinary work, new emerging galleries to represent their hottest artist or artists themselves who wish to participate on their own," says Curator Inez Suen.
Another aspect of the new-media technologies embraced by the American Pavilion is the thorough online coverage by the Miami-based blog What's Up Miami? which will be traveling to Shanghai to continue with its characteristic reporting style covering all the artistic happenings that will take place within the pavilion, the fair and at the hottest Shanghai art galleries.
At the 2nd largest market in the world, and at the world's largest consumer base, the American Pavilion Art Shanghai 2011 will greatly surprise visitors to show them how the exotic western landscape juxtaposes in the Shanghai contemporary art scene.
