About the artwork

With its particularly dynamic composition, this work by Amaranth Ehrenhalt captivates with its chromatic and formal energy. Three different color treatments can be distinguished. At the bottom of the composition, the colors are treated as flat watercolors in simple geometrical forms, while at the top right, the colors are expressed through lines that reveal the freedom of the artist's gesture. At the center of the composition is a synthesis of the palette used, blending and harmonizing into a chromatic cloud, each element complimenting and completing the whole, conveying all the joy and generosity of the artist's painting.

Expert opinion

This work by Amaranth Ehrenhalt reveals her mastery of composition and color, the fruit of years of research into the subject. Yet it exudes all the freedom and dynamism that have animated the artist's career. A major figure in Abstract Expressionism, his works are now highly sought-after on the market, particularly since the recent desire to pay tribute to the great female figures of art history.

About the artist

Born in 1928 in Newark and died in 2021 in Manhattan, Amaranth-Roslyn Ehrenhalt is a major American artist of Abstract Expressionism. Graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1951, she began her career in New York in the 1950s, at a time when Abstract Expressionism was enjoying great success on the contemporary scene. She then moved to Paris, where she met artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Yves Klein and Alberto Giacometti. Her work bears witness to her European and American influences, in terms of abstraction, lyricism and color. Inhabited by motifs evocative of planets and stars, her vivid paintings are the result of extensive research into color and form, notably using lithographs and watercolors. She has taken part in numerous exhibitions around the world, including a solo show at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York in 2012, the group exhibition Elles font l'abstraction at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2021, and the Whitechapel Gallery in London in 2023.

“I'm a colorist. I like to think of my work as a symphony on a flat surface. Everyone who has written about me uses words like energy and color, "Joie de vivre".”
