Helen Frankenthaler - Pittura / Panorama

Curated by John Elderfield, Pittura/Panorama features fourteen paintings covering a forty-year span of Helen Frankenthaler's career. The exhibition focuses on the artist's development of the pittura (painting) and the panorama: the interplay between works like easel paintings, although made on the floor, and large, horizontal paintings that open onto shallow but expansive spaces, in the way that panoramas do. This exhibition is organized by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and Venetian Heritage, in association with Gagosian. Foreword by Elizabeth Smith and Toto Bergamo Rossi; Preface by John Elderfield; Text by Pepe Karmel.
