Taking Helen Frankenthaler’s 1950s New York debut as its starting point, “The heroine Paint”: After Frankenthaler, edited by Katy Siegel, follows Frankenthaler’s own painting practice as well as the immediate influence of her work on other artists, tracing artistic currents gathered under her name as they move outward in different directions over time.
