HELEN FRANKENTHALER (B. 1928) East and Beyond (Harrison 41) woodcut in colors, 1973, on Nepalese
handmade,
signed and dated in pencil, numbered 4/18 (there were also 6 artist's proofs), with the ULAE blindstamp, West Islip, New York, with full margins, a few soft creases in the upper margin, hinged to the support in two places at the reverse of the upper margin edge (slightly showing
through), otherwise in very good condition, framed B. 23 5/8 x 17 7/8 in.
To me, being able to laugh at oneself is a sure
sign of spiritual maturity, and the way that capacity is articulated
through Albertini's unique use of
handmade costumes and performance is just absolutely charming.
