About this artwork
This proof of Brown Moons was mailed from Tatyana Grosman to Frankenthaler at her summer home in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The artist responded by mailing it back with a note:
June 26 ’61
Dear Tatyana,
It’s all fine, but it’s upside down! Remember, last time we decided that this should be on top? As much empty space (when printed) on top as possible, please. Yes, it’s still called Brown Moons. We are fine, enjoying the summer sun & shore & feeling more relaxed. Letter follows soon. Keep well, and write me! Love, Helen
