After Mountains and Sea: FRANKENTHALER 1956-1959

HELEN FRANKENTHALER (1928-)

Bogen behandler en gruppe billeder af stor betydning i kunstnerens univers, de akvarelagtige oliebilleder malet på ugrundet lærred, i en speciel teknik "soak-stain tchnique", med en blanding af oliefarver og terpentin eller petroleum.

Bogen er udgivet i forbindelse med en udstilling på Guggenhein, New York.

After Mountains and Sea: Frankenthaler 1956-1959 focuses on the groundbreaking paintings created by Helen Frankenthaler in the early years of her career. Fifteen of the artist's key works from this period will be on view in the exhibition. Monumental in scale, the paintings address issues of formalism and evoke dreamlike images of landscape. After Mountains and Sea: Frankenthaler 1956-1959 is organized by Julia Brown, Curator of Special Exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
