Amaranth Ehrenhalt is one of the last living members of the second generation of the New York School Abstract-Expressionist painters. She grew up in the Philadelphia area, schooled at the prestigious Barnes Foundation and found a place in New York in the late 40s, bringing her creativity to Paris in the early 50s. Yet her openness to new influences and to new friendships, including those with artists Alberto Giacometti and Joan Miller, assured her crucial role in the evolution of Abstract-Expressionism dialogue in the 50s and 60s Paris.
