The 1989 piece evokes a celestial calm, inviting contemplation of the cosmos and our place within it.

Frankenthaler, a leading abstract expressionist and innovator of the color field movement, transformed modern art with her lyrical abstractions. Her work is housed in the world's most prestigious institutions, and now you can bring a piece of this legacy into your home with our museum-quality reproduction.
