AMARANTH ROSLYN EHRENHALT
(1928-2021)
| Color in Motion — Amaranth Ehrenhalt brings together a vibrant group of the artist’s prints, each one alive with the movement, rhythm, and saturated color that defined her approach to abstraction. Known for her presence in the postwar art circles of Paris and New York, Ehrenhalt translated her painterly spontaneity into printmaking with remarkable clarity. This collection highlights the expressive range of her work—gestural, layered, and unmistakably her own. About the Artist Amaranth Ehrenhalt (1928–2021) was an American abstract painter, printmaker, and writer whose career spanned more than seven decades. Working among peers such as Joan Mitchell, Shirley Jaffe, and Sam Francis, she developed a visual language rooted in improvisation, color harmony, and continuous motion. Her prints reflect the same vitality found in her paintings: bold chromatic choices, fluid lines, and compositions that feel both intuitive and deeply structured. |
