Public Lecture and Webinar on Helen Frankenthaler

Presented by London-based scholar Cora Chalaby

Held Friday, April 25, 11 am (Central Time)

Chalaby presented virtually, live from London.

Cora Chalaby is scholar of American abstract painting by women artists from the 1960s and 1970s to now, focussing on the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Alma Thomas and Joan Mitchell. She is currently pursuing her PhD from Univeristy College London. Chalaby will discuss the role of printmaking in Helen Frankenthaler’s practice. While Frankenthaler is primarily known for her monumental abstract paintings and invention of her ‘soak-stain’ technique, printmaking formed a vital part of her oeuvre over five-decades.

Helen Frankenthaler: From Paint to Print, the Art of Collaboration, is on display April 10 – July 20, 2025.
