Lithograph in colors on three sheets of Japan paper. Signed, dated and numbered in pencil. Lot’s Wife (1971) by Helen Frankenthaler is a large-scale lithograph composed on three joined sheets of Japan paper. With vertical washes of soft beige, bold blue, deep green, rust, and yellow, the composition suggests both architectural presence and emotional resonance. A fine red line weaves through the color fields, adding tension and continuity. The title refers to the biblical figure who turned to look back and became a pillar of salt—here evoked not through figuration but through verticality and stillness. As one of only 17 editions, this signed and numbered work reflects Frankenthaler’s lyrical abstraction and innovative use of color and scale.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
