Helen Frankenthaler, Tout à Coup, edition of 46, 1987
Two-colour etching, aquatint, and drypoint on Magnani paper, 87 x 41 inches /
Helen Frankenthaler's prints are a continuation of her painting practice by bringing the same experimental, expressive and process-driven approach to the work. Best known for her innovation of the soak-stain technique in painting - pouring thinned paint onto unprimed canvas to create fluid, color-saturated fields. Similarly, in printmaking, she explored the same physicality of materials, pushing boundaries by layering multiple plates and using unusual tools.
