The essence of Lee Krasner's (1908-1984) biography is familiar to anyone who has studied women's role in 20th century art history: An accomplished artist whose own output gets eclipsed or compromised because she devoted herself to supporting and promoting her husband's artwork.
Fortunately in recent years, there has been a concerted effort, by scholars, dealers and curators to reexamine and expand the cannon in hopes of including more female artists.
One of the artists that has been at the forefront of this new mentality is Lee Krasner.
How and why has she been marginalized from the narrative surrounding the development and importance of Abstract Expressionism is finally being addressed.
We highly recommend the Gail Levin's biography of Lee Krasner
We are pleased to be offering this dynamic screenprint by Lee Krasner. This work is a prime example of her preferred forms; Matisse-inspired dense shapes surrounded by more gestural forms and outlines.
As Krasner's auction record stands at 11.6 million, her fine screenprints are a must have for the young collector passionate about American Abstract Expressionism.
