The program considered the work of Frankenthaler as a second-generation Abstract Expressionist and her pioneering role in the development of the Color Field school; a special focus was given to the painting Hurricane Flag as a key example of Frankenthaler’s work of the late 1960s and in the context of the artist’s six-decade career.
