"Color is also extremely important to my 'process.' It's born out of idea, mood, luck, imagination, risk, into what might even be ugly; then I let it tell me what might/should be used next, until I get the light and order that satisfies to perfection. The result is color and space and, I hope, a beautiful message." -Helen Frankenthaler, quoted in Line into Color, Color into Line: Helen Frankenthaler Paintings 1962-1987, Gagosian Gallery, Beverly Hills, 2016.
