HELEN FRANKENTHALER

About the Artist

Helen Frankenthaler (Manhattan, 1928 –  2011) was among the most influential artists of the mid-20th century. Helen Frankenthaler was the founder of Color Field. She developed an innovative technique of staining her unprimed canvases by pouring thinned paint directly onto the surface.

​

She was a major contributor to the history of postwar American painting. Having exhibited her work for over six decades, abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler was working from the early 1950s until 2011. She spanned several generations of abstract painters while continuing to produce vital and ever-changing new work. Frankenthaler began exhibiting her large-scale abstract expressionist paintings in contemporary museums and galleries in the early 1950s. 

​

She was included in the 1964 Post-Painterly abstraction exhibition curated by Clement Greenberg that introduced a newer generation of abstract painting that came to be known as Color Field. Born She worked alongside Greenberg, Hans Hofmann, and Jackson Pollock. Her work has been the subject of several retrospective exhibitions, including a 1989 retrospective at MoMa. In 2001, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts.
