For the first time in more than 20 years in Germany, the Museum Folkwang is showcasing the powerful oeuvre of Helen Frankenthaler, known as a trailblazer for her role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field Painting. Focusing on Frankenthaler's works on paper, the exhibition was previously presented at the Kunshalle Krems in Austria.

This exhibition explores what can be learned by juxtaposing the work of two pioneering artists: Helen Frankenthaler and Jo Sandman (b. 1931). Frankenthaler, the elder artist, is more closely identified with image-making, and Sandman, the younger, with process and conceptualism. This exhibition highlights 10 prints and 8 proofs by Frankenthaler that were gifted to the museum through the Frankenthaler Prints Initiative for university-affiliated museums.

During the 1990s, Frankenthaler naturally transitioned from tackling canvases on the floor to using larger sheets of paper laid out on the floor or tabletops for easier accessibility. The continuity between the late work and what came before is striking—the fruits of an intuitive journey graced by mood, imagination, and technical facility. This exhibition, organized by Douglas Dreishpoon, was previously presented at New Britain Museum of American Art, the Weatherspoon Art Museum, and the Palm Springs Art Museum. A publication documenting Frankenthaler’s late period, with essays by Dreishpoon and Suzanne Boorsch, and a roundtable conversation with Katharina Grosse, Pepe Karmel, and Mary Weatherford, has been recently published by Radius Books.

The exhibition explores large-scale abstract painting, sculpture, and assemblage, from the 1940s to the twenty-first century, through works from The Met collection and special loans. The Foundation's loan of Western Dream, 1957, remains on view.

With more than 80 works by 50 artists, this exhibition explores the idea of inner landscapes and interior worlds—a concept inspired by the island setting of the Villa Carmignac. The Foundation’s loan of Frankenthaler’s painting Overture will be included.
