About the Item

*Studebaker 2013* by Francine Tint, a monumental 56.5 x 115-inch abstract expressionist masterpiece. Created during her transformative 2012-2017 hiatus, this vibrant, gestural work—featuring bold reds, blues, and yellows—marks a pivotal moment leading to her Pollock-Krasner Award. Francine Tint Studebaker 2013 Acrylic on canvas 56.5 x 115 inches Signed and dated on verso Provenance: Private collection *Studebaker 2013* (56.5 x 115 inches) stands as a seminal large-scale work in Francine Tint’s oeuvre, embodying the emotional and artistic potency of her abstract expressionist practice. Painted during a pivotal hiatus from exhibiting between 2012 and 2017—a period of introspection preceding her first Pollock-Krasner Award in 2017—this monumental canvas captures a transformative moment in her career. Its expansive size amplifies Tint’s signature gestural intensity, with sweeping, lyrical brushstrokes in vibrant reds, blues, yellows, and greens layered over a reddish-brown ground, creating a dynamic interplay of color and motion. Created in relative seclusion, *Studebaker 2013* bridges her earlier lyrical explorations with the forceful confidence that would later earn critical acclaim, marking it as a cornerstone of her artistic legacy. Francine Tint is a New York-based abstract expressionist painter whose vibrant, gestural works have solidified her place in the continuing legacy of the movement. Born in 1943, Tint studied at Pratt Institute and the Brooklyn Museum College, honing a style marked by intuitive brushstrokes, bold color fields, and emotional depth. Active since the 1970s, her paintings reflect a synthesis of action painting and color-field techniques, drawing inspiration from predecessors like Helen Frankenthaler, with whom she shares a fluid, spontaneous approach, and Larry Poons, echoing his dynamic energy. Compared to contemporaries like Joan Mitchell, whose raw, expressive power parallels Tint’s intensity, or Jules Olitski, whose atmospheric color explorations resonate with her later taut surfaces, Tint stands out for her fearless evolution—from lyrical loops to forceful, vivid compositions. Her contributions have been recognized with the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Award in 2017 and 2022, affirming her enduring impact. With over thirty solo exhibitions and works in more than 28 museum collections, including the Neuberger Museum of Art and the Portland Art Museum’s Clement Greenberg Collection, Tint remains a vital voice, blending historical influences with a distinctly personal vision in the abstract expressionist tradition.
