Imens i livet hos Helen Frankenthaler
Hele livet1959
First Prize at the Paris Biennial
She receives First Prize for Painting at the first Paris Biennial.
11. juli 1959 – 11. oktober 1959
Exhibition: Documenta II
1960
First museum retrospective at the Jewish Museum
A retrospective of her work of the 1950s at the Jewish Museum is her first major museum show; the catalogue is written by the critic and poet Frank O’Hara, a curator at the Museum of Modern Art.
1960
Her work is described as “colour field painting”
In 1960 the term “colour field painting” is used to describe Frankenthaler’s work: large areas of colour on the canvas, hues similar in tone or intensity, large formats and simplified compositions.
1963
A switch to acrylic paints
From 1963 she uses acrylic paints rather than oils, because they allow for both opacity and sharpness on the canvas.
