Frankenthaler: New Paintings
Knoedler & Company, New York
May 1 - July 18, 2003
Knoedler & Company presents Frankenthaler: New Paintings. For most of the past decade, Helen Frankenthaler has focused on paintings on paper, returning to painting on canvas only this past year. This show marks the first exhibition of these new works and the first time that both paintings on canvas and those on paper of comparable large scale have been shown together.
In her recent paintings on paper Helen Frankenthaler continues to explore and expand upon the wide-ranging dimensions of her distinctive abstract vocabulary. The new paintings on canvas relate more closely to the abstract “landscape” traits which have been a central aspect of her art since the landmark painting Mountains and Sea of 1952 (collection of the artist, on extended loan to the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC).
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated clothbound book.
