Sky Frame Orbit
<p><em>Sky Frame Orbit</em> was only the second time Frankenthaler combined printing techniques (the first was <em>Free Wheeling</em>). The artist repurposed the trial proofs printed nine years earlier of <em>Sky Frame</em>’s blue lithographed frame, rotated them ninety degrees, and printed the new intaglio plate in the center. Frankenthaler had reworked the <em>Sky Frame</em> stone after these initial proofs were pulled, which is why <em>Sky Frame Orbit</em>’s edition size is small: the blue rectangle could not be reproduced in 1973.</p>
