Color as Field: American Painting, 1950-1975 August 11, 2008

Helen Frankenthaler's work, along with paintings by Mark Rothko, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, and Frank Stella constitute one of the crowning achievements of postwar American abstract art. Encompassing forty-one large-scale canvases, this retrospective presents a rare opportunity to fully comprehend the aims of the artists, view their finest works, and experience the beauty and sensuality of their pictorial handling of space and color.
