Abstract painter Helen Frankenthaler dies at 83 in Connecticut
Helen Frankenthaler died at 83 after a long illness at her Darien Connecticut home. The influential artist helped bridge Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting with works like Mountains and Sea and mentored peers such as Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland. Her career spanned study at Bennington Columbia and the Art Students League before pioneering open color fields with acrylics in later decades.
