Plaza Real (1987) by Helen Frankenthaler is a vibrant soft-ground etching and aquatint that showcases the artist's mastery of color, gesture, and printmaking techniques. A pioneer of Color Field painting, Frankenthaler took an experimental approach to Plaza Real, using intaglio and her engagement with the atmosphere and energy of Barcelona’s historic Plaça Reial to create an exemplary impression of her late-career contributions to the history of abstract art and printmaking.
