Item Details

A signed limited edition mixed media print titled Tiger’s Eye by American Abstract Expressionist Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011). This print is an etching, aquatint, screenprint and lithograph on paper featuring abstract amorphous shapes in a semi-landscape composition in greens and brown with a red accent. It is numbered AP 13/14 to lower left, signed to lower right in pencil, and dated 1987. Presented in a modern gilt frame.

Frankenthaler was one of the Abstract Expressionist movement’s most highly regarded pioneers. Influenced largely by her contemporaries including Jackson Pollock, Clement Greenberg, and Hans Hoffman, her paintings are simultaneously innovative in technique and sensual in style. She is best known for her large-scale and diaphanous “color field” canvasses created by a dilution of oil paints on unprepared canvas, allowing the paints to soak into the canvas and giving the impression of watercolors.
