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.

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.
