Franz Kline began his career in the New York art world at the bottom of the ladder, showing his work at the Washington Square Outdoor Show in 1939.
In 1961 Kline fell ill and entered Johns Hopkins Hospital for tests which revealed long standing rheumatic heart trouble, with more recent and dangerous deterioration of the heart muscle. He was put on a strict diet and told to curb his lifestyle, but his illness was incurable. He died in hospital in New York in May 1962.
