Frankenthaler. All at Once
Series of lectures on the art of Helen Frankenthaler
from 10 December 2024
to 21 January 2025
- From 18.00 to 19.30
A series of appointments to explore Helen Frankenthaler’s artistic career and the context in which she worked. Four encounters to learn about the artist’s cultural landscape, friendships and relationships in 1960s-1980s New York; her relationship with the representatives of Abstract Expressionism (Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Lee Krasner); the story of her career through the images of great photographers; her fascination for painterly experimentation and the invention of the new technique of soak-stain (stain imbibition).
The meetings will be held in the Strozzina’s conference room.
Free participation subject to availability. Reservation recommended.
The meetings will be recorded and made available in the Frankenthaler podcast. All at once on the main audio platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Spreaker).
