This Frankenthaler Prints Inititative exhibition will explore how Helen Frankenthaler collaborated with printmakers in print studios and workshops throughout her long career. By focusing on her works on paper, this exhibition considers how printshops are key nodes within the printmaking ecosystems, or sites where artists and printers simultaneously championed technical innovations and created community.

Echoing the dizzying experience of the Mediterranean sun, the mistral, the waves and the sea spray, but also the immensity of the sky and the marine depths of the island of Porquerolles, the VERTIGO exhibition explores in a unique way the links between the perception of natural phenomena and abstraction since the 1950s.

The Foundation’s loan of Petroglyphs, 1990 will be included in this exhibition.
