About the Artist

Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011), whose career spanned six decades, has long been recognised as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. Heir of first-generation Abstract Expressionism, she brought together in her work—with prodigious inventiveness and singular beauty—a conception of the canvas as both a formalised field and an arena for gestural drawing. She was eminent among the second generation of postwar American abstract painters and is widely credited for playing a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Colour Field painting. One of the foremost colourists of our time, she produced a body of work whose impact on contemporary art has been profound.
