Frankenthaler pursued similar explorations of line, color, and form in both painting and prints, allowing for discoveries in one medium to echo in the other. In 1961, she collaborated on her first print with Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) and its visionary founder Tatyana Grosman. She later returned in 1978 to produce Altitudes (1978). ULAE established itself by first specializing in lithography, a printing process in which the flat surface of the matrix—a smoothstone or metal plate—allows ink to be absorbed into the paper. In Altitudes, the ink has soaked into the paper at varying degrees, creating the impression of graduated layers of color floating on the print
