Frankenthaler by John Elderfield
This revised and expanded edition of John Elderfield’s definitive monograph on Helen Frankenthaler now covers the artist’s career in its entirety. Originally published in 1989 by Harry N. Abrams, Frankenthaler drew on Elderfield’s extensive conversations with the artist and quickly became the authoritative account of her oeuvre. Developing this updated edition gave Elderfield the opportunity to reimagine the book entirely and substantially rewrite it, exploring insights gained through curating numerous exhibitions over the last decade. New content includes a chapter focused on a previously overlooked group of Frankenthaler’s paintings of the late 1950s through the early 1960s, and a final chapter that discusses her late works dating from 1988 through 2004, making this volume the most comprehensive on the artist to date.
Published in a smaller format than its predecessor, this nearly five-hundred-page edition features more than three hundred full-color reproductions of Frankenthaler’s paintings, works on paper, prints, and sculpture, including many that have never before been published in color, along with over a hundred comparative illustrations and documentary photographs.
