Walking into a room of Jackson Pollock’s drip-paintings in 1951, Helen Frankenthaler said the experience was like moving to Lisbon with no Portuguese and feeling compelled to put down roots: “I wanted to live in this land, and I had to live there but I just didn’t know the language.” This wild terrain was Abstract Expressionism and, while it may have seemed a far-flung monoglot culture to the precocious 22-year-old Frankenthaler, her own syntax of forms would soon come to express so much of what that language was able to articulate.
Frankenthaler’s immersion did not take long. After completing her art school studies at Bennington College in 1950, she moved back to New York, and by the following spring she was offered her first solo show at Tibor de Nagy Gallery on the strength of her formative abstractions.
