NEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian Gallery announces its first exhibition of Helen Frankenthaler's work organized in collaboration with the newly established Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. This follows the gallery’s critically acclaimed 2013 exhibition, “Painted on 21st Street: Helen Frankenthaler from 1950 to 1959,” which was organized with the artist's estate.

The exhibition focuses on a brief but critical period in Frankenthaler's career during 1962–63, when she “composed with color” rather than with line, resulting in the freer compositions that came to exemplify her long and prolific career.

The exhibition Giving Up One’s Mark: Helen Frankenthaler in the 1960s and 1970s, opened on November 9, 2014, at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and explores a transitional period in the career of renowned American artist Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011). Featuring more than seventeen paintings and a selection of works on paper, the exhibition tracks the painter’s development during the key decades of the 1960s and 1970s. Drawn from public and private collections, it includes a number of the monumental canvases for which the artist is widely known, as well as smaller works that offer an intimate perspective on her creative process.
