Throughout her career,   Frankenthaler pushed beyond the boundaries of easel painting to create   extraordinary, monumental works, some of which occupied the entire expanse of   her studio floor. This exhibition explores the artist’s use of scale across   four decades of painting. The title is derived from a 1975 review by poet and   critic Barbara Guest, where she remarks on Frankenthaler’s “astonishing   combination of freedom with restraint, extravagance with discipline,   suggestion and definition,” concluding, “the moment becomes the   distance.” The book includes a new essay by art historian Ara H. Merjian that   discusses the works in the show in the context of Frankenthaler’s Surrealist and   Abstract Expressionist influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelen Frankenthaler (1928–2011) has long been recognized as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. A member of the second generation of New York-based postwar abstract painters, she is widely credited with expanding the possibilities of abstraction through her invention of the soak-stain technique, and her highly personal references to figuration and landscape.","brand":"Gagosian \/ Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":49022919934179,"sku":"DTRRZUS-9781968417031","price":538.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781968417031.jpg?v=1779942614","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9781968417031","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
