Elevate Your Space with Helen Frankenthaler’s Alassio (1960)
In 1960, Helen Frankenthaler traveled to the Italian Riviera, an experience that profoundly influenced the luminosity and openness of her compositions. Alassio is a quintessential example of her celebrated 'soak-stain' evolution, where the canvas becomes a landscape of emotion rather than a literal representation. This museum-quality reproduction captures the fluid, ethereal color fields that defined Frankenthaler's role as a bridge between Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting.
This RedKalion fine art print is presented on brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®, a medium that breathes new life into mid-century abstraction. The 3mm (0.12") thick aluminum base features a horizontal grain, adding a dynamic, metallic depth to the work. In this printing process, white areas of the original artwork are left unprinted, allowing the natural silver finish of the metal to shimmer through, creating a sophisticated dialogue between Frankenthaler’s organic forms and contemporary industrial design.

What is the significance of Helen Frankenthaler’s Alassio, 1960?
Created after her travels in Italy, Alassio marks a pivotal moment in Abstract Expressionism. It showcases Frankenthaler’s mastery of color field painting, emphasizing the relationship between space, pigment, and the light of the Mediterranean coast.
Is the hanging hardware included with this print?
Yes, every RedKalion aluminum print includes a professional hanging kit. The specific type of hardware varies by the fulfillment country to ensure the most secure and localized installation solution for your 70x100 cm piece.
How does RedKalion ensure the archival longevity of this piece?
We use direct-to-substrate UV printing on 3mm Aluminum DIBOND®. This process ensures the colors are fade-resistant and the material is warp-proof, providing a museum-quality reproduction that maintains its integrity for decades.
Will the colors appear the same as the original painting?
While the colors are calibrated for accuracy, the brushed aluminum adds a matte, glare-free finish. This creates a sophisticated, understated vibrancy that differs slightly from canvas but enhances the modern appeal of the work.
What characterizes the soak-stain technique used in the original?
Frankenthaler pioneered thinning oil or acrylic paint with turpentine to 'stain' raw canvas. This technique allowed color to fuse with the fabric, creating the watercolor-like transparency and organic edges seen in Alassio.
How is the shipping handled to prevent damage?
