Helen Frankenthaler, The Other Side of the Moon (Hand signed twice and inscribed), 1998

This very limited edition offset lithograph is, exceptionally, hand signed on the lower left, and also bears a unique inscription with another signature on the lower right. It was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Frankenthaler: The Darker Palette", curated by Karen Wilkin, which ran through June 1998, at the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), before traveling to the Corcoran Gallery of Art and to Princeton University Art Museum. It marks the point of origin in the relationship between SCAD and one of the greatest modern artists in American history. "Helen was the one that proposed The Darker Palette because she was so eager to have this side of her work acknowledged," says Wilkin, reflecting two-plus decades after the fact. "SCAD was certainly ambitious and could pay for an exhibition of this content, that is to say, do it properly in terms of security and air quality in the gallery. The work was not all recent, the work was from different times and was chosen because of its visual qualities. What we dealt with in that exhibition is something that's still very much an issue in Frankenthaler studies — her accurate insistence that she had a much wider range than she was often given credit for."
The work depicted in this poster is Frankenthaler's 1995 painting "The Other Side of the Moon".
The inscription reads, "For Janet and all your cheerful help! With appreciation, Helen '98"

Very good vintage condition with minor handling
