Display caption
Frankenthaler collaborated with Tyler over a 25-year period. Nuances in colour and subtle shifts in texture have always been important to Frankenthaler, and these qualities are exemplified in her lithographs. Tyler has said: ‘for Frankenthaler, there is nothing like drawing on the receptive surface of prepared limestone. Lithography stones are responsive to every gesture. It is possible to create combinations of ethereal washes, crayon lines, and dense brushstrokes. Tones may vary from very delicate washes to fully saturated solids.’
