Helen Frankenthaler (Deutsche Ausgabe), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

German edition

Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) was a pioneer of post-war American art. Her experimental work with paint and canvas made her one of the most significant artists of Abstract Expressionism. At the age of just twenty-three, she asserted herself in a male-dominated environment with the development of her trademark soak-stain technique. Her work would later serve a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Colour Field painting. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition at Kunstmuseum Basel highlights fifty years of innovative painting, focusing especially on Frankenthaler's intense engagement with art history.
