Frankenthaler at Eighty commemorates painter Helen Frankenthaler's eightieth birthday with a selection of masterworks from her own collection. Published concurrently with an exhibition at New York's Knoedler & Company, this handsome volume—the cover of which features Frankenthaler's great painting, "A Green Thought in a Green Shade" (1981)—pays tribute to the painter's long and distinguished career, with a fully illustrated survey of the works chosen for the exhibition, which represent quintessential paintings from each period of her career. Also included are historic photographs of Frankenthaler and a detailed chronology studded with reprinted images from periodicals, including art magazine covers. An essay by curator Karen Wilkin—who worked closely with Frankenthaler in the curation of this exhibition, and who has worked with the painter extensively for decades—sheds new light on the painter's tremendous contribution to American art during the last half-century.
