Connections

The work of Frank Stella (*1936 in in Malden, Massachusetts) transcends the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and architecture. In the course of a five-decade career the artist has consistently reinvented himself, always seeking new challenges. Frank Stella: Connections brings together a careful selection of paintings and sculptures in broad thematic groupings. Within a broad chronology surprising and revealing shifts backwards and forwards in time create encounters, juxtapositions and dialogues between works from different series, in order to explore the underlying concerns and extraordinary consistency of Stella?s practice. The publication includes early Minimalist works, and examples from major series such as the ?Irregular Polygons? and ?Protractor? paintings of the 1960s, the ?Polish Village? series, ?Circuits? and the ?Cone and Pillar? series of the 1970s and 1980s, and the metal reliefs and monumental floor sculptures he has made in the last two decades
