Original aquatint and drypoint printed in five colors (blue, black, red, pink, green) on Magnani wove paper. Edition of 71 (overall edition of 81), numbered in pencil lower left. Published by 2RC Edizioni d'Arte, Rome; printed by Valter Rossi, Eleonora Rossi and Raffaele d'Orsogna at Vigna Antoniniana Stamperia d'Arte, Rome. Sheet size: 81.3 x 64.1 cm (32 x 25 1/4 in) Image size: 49.5 x 40.0 cm (19 1/2 x 15 3/4 in) Frame size: 91.4 x 73.7 x 5.1 cm (36 x 29 x 2 in)// Midnight, 1987 is a monumental aquatint and drypoint that plunges the viewer into the nocturnal depths of Frankenthaler's colour-field sensibility. Deep blues and blacks merge and separate across the expansive sheet, penetrated by thin veins of white and green that suggest moonlight filtering through darkness. The five-colour printing builds atmospheric layers of extraordinary subtlety, the aquatint grain dissolving hard edges into a luminous haze that recalls the stain technique of Frankenthaler's celebrated paintings. At nearly five metres wide, this is one of the most ambitious prints in the artist's catalogue — a nocturne of immersive scale that situates her printmaking firmly alongside the achievements of her painting. From an overall edition of eighty-one on Magnani wove paper.

Who are the American Abstract Artists (AAA) ?
American Abstract Artists (AAA) is an organization founded in New York City in 1936 to promote abstract art and its appreciation in the United States. At a time when abstract art faced strong opposition from critics, the AAA provided crucial exhibition opportunities for abstract artists, helping to foster the growth and acceptance of the movement.
