Helen Frankenthaler’s late work stands as a compelling testament to her tireless curiosity, her willingness to take risks, and her openness to artistic experimentation. Beginning in the late 1970s, works on paper assumed an increasingly central role in her oeuvre—not merely as a supplement to canvas, but more and more as an artistic medium in its own right. During this time, the artist remarked: “Working on paper can even replace working on canvas for me, for periods of time … that was never true before, more and more, paper is painting.” https://www.museum-re.de/en/art/reinhard-ernst-collection/objects/end-of-summer/
