Helen Frankenthaler Foundation

Congratulations to @TeigerFoundation on the launch of their new climate-focused grantmaking initiative for curatorial projects across the U.S. The grant will award successful applicants with up to $150,000 and the opportunity to be involved in a #ClimateAction pilot program to advance sustainable curatorial practices. We launched the #FrankenthalerClimateInitiative with the hope of inspiring climate awareness more broadly within the art sector and are thrilled to see other cultural institutions taking a leadership position on climate action. The recent Supreme Court ruling limiting the EPA’s ability to regulate power plants signals the urgent need for other institutions to amplify climate awareness and sustainable initiatives. More information about #TeigerFoundation’s Call for Proposals and Climate Action plan is available on their website.

Now in its second year, the Helen Frankenthaler Climate Initiative has already provided more than $5 million to nearly 80 visual arts institutions seeking to reduce their carbon footprint through energy efficiency and clean energy projects. The $10 million commitment unites expertise in the climate and museum fields to spur meaningful change towards the goal of net zero emissions. Recently, @helenfrankenthalerfoundation ’s Executive Director @elzbthsmth sat down with us to discuss this unprecedented grant-making program - learn more by watching the complete video above! #ResnicowCulture #HelenFrankenthaler #FrankenthalerClimateInitiative #EarthDay2022 #ClimateAction ______________ 🎨Artwork © 2022 Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, Inc. / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

#Repost @themuseumofmodernart ・・・ “Abstraction can actually get more to the truth of things than painting every last little detail of a certain scene. It bypasses the more mundane details but evokes a powerful sense of feeling.” Alex Roediger (@alexroediger ), MoMA’s senior information coordinator, looks at Helen Frankenthaler’s painting “Jacob’s Ladder” (1957) with a painter’s eye, and finds that “more paint” isn't always the key to making a dramatic statement—even in Abstract Expressionism. 🔎 An #ArtTerm explained! Abstract Expressionism was the dominant artistic movement in the 1940s and 1950s. The associated artists developed greatly varying stylistic approaches, but shared a commitment to an abstract art that powerfully expresses personal convictions and profound human values. They championed bold, gestural abstraction in all mediums, particularly large painted canvases. Explore our collection work by work as we release a new #UNIQLOArtSpeaks video each Friday and experience Frankenthaler’s “Jacob’s Ladder” in our fourth-floor galleries. @uniqlousa is MoMA’s proud partner of #ArtForAll .
