What type of art did Frank Stella make?
1 Answer
Frank Stella (1936–2024) made paintings, prints and sculptures. One of the central figures in postwar American art, Stella was a proponent of minimalism and non-representational abstraction. His famous works include Sinjerli Variation IV, Harran II and his “Eccentric Polygon” series.
Stella burst onto the scene barely out of college with his “Black Paintings,” sober geometric studies composed of wide black stripes separated by chalky white lines. These won him inclusion in “16 Americans,” the famed 1959–60 group show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He stayed at the forefront of art, working with famed gallerist Leo Castelli, relentlessly pursuing geometric form and never repeating himself.
