Frankenthaler, Helen | Aerie, 2009 — available on Composition Gallery
Based on a 1995 painting of the same title, Helen Frankenthaler’s “Aerie,” crafted only two years before her death. Unable to hand-sign the prints in this edition, Frankenthaler individually stamped each example with her initials.
Helen Frankenthaler’s Aerie, a 2009 silkscreen print, captures the artist’s signature lyrical abstraction with fluid forms and vibrant colors. Based on her 1995 painting of the same title, this print features cascading organic shapes in red, green, and yellow set against a soft, expansive background. The forms appear to drip and float, suggesting elements of nature like plants, water, or even an abstracted landscape. Each piece in this edition of 128 was stamped with Frankenthaler’s initials, as it was created only two years before her passing. Aerie exemplifies her exploration of color and form, evoking a sense of movement and depth that invites viewers into an immersive, almost dreamlike space.

Helen Frankenthaler (USA, 1928–2011) was a leading abstract painter and a pioneer of the Color Field movement. Known for her innovative 'soak-stain' technique, she applied diluted paint directly onto unprimed canvases, creating luminous, fluid compositions that redefined modern abstraction.

What is abstract art?
Artwork by Eduardo Chillida

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
