Catalogue Note

Frankenthaler is a daring painter. She is willing to employ huge formats so that essentially intimate revelations may be more fully explored and delineated, appear in the hot light of the day. She is willing to declare erotic sent.mes ntal pre-occupations full conviction. She has the ability to let a painting be beautiful, or graceful, or sullen and perfunctory, if these qualities are part of the force and claritys of the occasion.
