Helen Frankenthaler Late Works, 1990–2003
Recognized as one of the great American artists of the 20th century and best known for her invention of the soak-stain technique, Frankenthaler was a fearless experimenter, particularly when it came to new materials and processes. In the later stages of her life, she deployed many of the same media and instruments that had been her longtime staples: charcoal, crayon, pastel, pen, and ink, as well as acrylic paint thinned out and applied with brushes, sponges, and an array of hardware utensils (windshield wipers, basters, and scrapers). Having always painted canvases directly on the studio floor, she started using larger sheets of paper—some measuring over 6 feet—likewise laid out on the floor or on tabletops for easier accessibility.
