Radius – 1993 Poster by Helen Frankenthaler

Elevate your space with the Radius – 1993 Poster, a luminous fine art print that captures the lyrical abstraction of Helen Frankenthaler, a pivotal figure in postwar American art. This piece, created in 1993, exemplifies her signature 'soak-stain' technique, where thinned paint was absorbed into raw canvas, creating ethereal washes of color that seem to float. The composition radiates from a central sun-like form, evoking a sense of cosmic rhythm and emotional resonance. As with all our prints, this reproduction is rendered on our Master's Edition archival paper, a museum-quality, FSC-certified paper with a matte, uncoated finish that faithfully mimics the texture and hue of the original. The paper is acid-free (pH above 7) to prevent yellowing, ensuring your art remains vibrant for generations. Available in 4 sizes, this piece is a testament to Frankenthaler's genius and a sophisticated addition to any art lover's collection.
