Description
This volume presents the work of American artist Frank Stella (b. 1936). Stella is considered a significant figure in minimalism and post-painterly abstraction. This work is a companion volume to an exhibition held in 2000 of many of Stella's works that were created during the 1970s and 1980s. Originally a painter, his work became more three-dimensional to the point where he started producing large, free-standing metal pieces, which, although they are painted upon, might well be considered sculpture. Stella's sculptural forms derived from cones, pillars, French curves, waves, and decorative architectural elements. To create these works, he used collages or maquettes that were then enlarged and re-created with the aid of assistants, industrial metal cutters, and digital technologies.
