Frank Stella, a painter, sculptor, and printmaker known for his minimalist and post-painterly abstraction works, passed away at 87. His evolving art encompassed painting, sculpture, and printmaking, leaving a significant artistic legacy.
Stella's career spanned from the exploration of minimalism in his early flat, black paintings to incorporating curved lines and bright colors in his Protractor series. In the late 1970s, he ventured into three-dimensionality, blurring the line between painting and sculpture with metals and mixed media.
Throughout his career, Stella maintained a rigorous structure in his works, with his recent pieces displayed at the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in NYC showcasing massive, colorful sculptures that blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture, reflecting his lifelong pursuit of creating new pictorial spaces.
