Soft-ground etching, sugar-lift etching, and aquatint on Mauve HMP handmade paper // Helen Frankenthaler’s Earth Slice (1978) is a limited edition etching and aquatint that captures the artist’s abstract expressionist approach to landscape. The print combines soft-ground etching, sugar-lift etching, and aquatint techniques, all executed on Mauve HMP handmade paper. The composition features earthy tones—browns, ochres, and hints of green—suggesting a natural landscape or terrain. The fluid, organic forms and textural qualities evoke the essence of land and earth, reflecting Frankenthaler’s mastery in blending abstraction with elements of the natural world. Signed and numbered, this work was produced in an edition of 46, with an additional 12 artist proofs, showcasing her innovative use of printmaking to convey emotion and depth.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
