About this title

About the Author

Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) was one of the most influential American artists to arise from the mid-twentieth century and her innovative staining technique helped to shape the second generation of the abstract expressionist movement. After major retrospectives at the Jewish Contemporary Museum, the Whitney Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Frankenthaler's work gained significant recognition both within the art world and with the general public. Apart from painting, Frankenthaler also worked in sculpture, ceramics and printmaking, and her oeuvre is the subject of three monographs. Institutions that have recently exhibited her work include the Jeanie Tengelson Gallery at the Art League of New York, Turner Contemporary (England), and Leslie Sacks Fine Art (Los Angeles).
