About the artwork

In Sonce, Ehrenhalt uses vibrant contrasts of emerald green against a luminous magenta background to create a dynamic, almost pulsating field of abstract forms. The composition evokes plant or organic rhythms, with looping patterns and textured marks evoking both natural growth and musical improvisation. The flatness of color is energized by the density of the green touches, giving the work an intensity that is both playful and assertive.

Expert opinion

This print is a perfect illustration of Ehrenhalt's lyrical abstraction, where gestural spontaneity and chromatic boldness converge. It captures the vitality of his practice, combining structure and freedom, and places him fully within the vibrant legacy of post-war abstraction, both in America and Europe.

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 follow color as if it were music, letting it guide me where it wants to go." - Amaranth Ehrenhalt on her practice”
