Author: Anita Haldemann
The catalogue accompanying the exhibition at Kunstmuseum Basel highlights fifty years of innovative painting, focusing especially on Helen Frankenthaler's intense engagement with art history. It gives insights into her life and creative work through examining key works, and is the first publication where her works are examined alongside those of role models such as Édouard Manet, André Derain and Marie Laurencin.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 23, she asserted herself in a male-dominated environment and became a pioneer of colour field painting. Soon, she developed the soak-stain technique that was to become her trademark. The exhibition at Kunstmuseum Basel, New Building, runs from April 18 to August 23, 2026.
