Halleys Comet, 1985 — Fine Art

Halleys Comet, 1985- by Helen Frankenthaler shows colour spread across the sheet in a steady motion. A thin wash moves from one side and fades as it goes. Helen Frankenthaler worked with soak stain painting, letting the pigment sit in the surface. The light stays even with no shine.

This fine art print comes ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. The matte paper keeps the colour fields quiet under a lamp, so the marks read without glare.

Hang it above a plain desk against a white wall. From across the room the colour holds its own pace, and up close the thin edges show how the paint moved.
