Helen Frankenthaler: Late Works, 1988–2009 is the first book to explore the late period of Frankenthaler’s art and life. Frankenthaler’s invention of the soak-stain technique expanded the possibilities of abstract painting with references to figuration and landscape.The continuity between the late work and what came before is striking, as the painter, graced with a vast art-historical image bank moved in whatever direction suited her mood and imagination.
