From May 7th to November 17th 2019 the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and Venetian Heritage are pleased to announce at Palazzo Grimani an exhibition of Helen Frankenthaler’s paintings from the Foundation’s collection
The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and Venetian Heritage are pleased to announce an exhibition of Helen Frankenthaler’s paintings drawn from the Foundation’s collection, which will be the first presentation of her work in Venice since its appearance in 1966 at the American Pavilion of the 33rd Venice Biennale. The exhibition will feature fourteen paintings covering a forty-year span of the artist’s career. It will focus on the relationship in Frankenthaler’s development of the pittura and the panorama: the interplay of works like easel paintings, although made on the floor, and large, horizontal paintings that open onto shallow but expansive spaces, in the way that panoramas do.
The exhibition was organized by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and Venetian Heritage, in association with Gagosian. It will be presented at the Palazzo Grimani in Santa Maria Formosa, one of the most important cultural centers in Venice during the 16th century and home to a family famous for both its collections and its patronage of the arts. Helen Frankenthaler was influenced in her use of color by the great Venetian artists of the 1500s, making the venue particularly appropriate for this exhibition.
