Frank Stella (The Museum of Modern Art)

Description

Frank Stella (The Museum of Modern Art) offers a comprehensive exploration of the career of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century. Known for his pioneering work in minimalism, geometric abstraction, and later, monumental, sculptural paintings, Stella pushed the boundaries of what painting could be. This richly illustrated volume, produced in conjunction with MoMA’s major retrospective, traces Stella’s evolution from his early black paintings of the 1950s to his vibrant, multi-dimensional constructions of the later decades. Essays by leading curators and art historians contextualize his innovations within postwar American art and offer insights into his materials, techniques, and enduring legacy. More than just a catalogue, the book serves as both a scholarly resource and a visually striking celebration of Stella’s relentless creativity and impact on modern art.
