Frank Stella

by Frank Stella, Lawrence Robin, Rosenblum, Robert.

"Since the early 1990s, the American artist Frank Stella (b. 1936) has been designing a variety of complex architectural structures, including a band shell, pavilions, and museums. This book demonstrates how Stella's aesthetic has evolved since the 1960s from painting, to wall reliefs, to freestanding sculpture that extends into architecture. It accompanies the artist's first one-person exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Included are illustrations of the twenty-five works in the exhibition, which range from small models to a portion of a building at full scale. Also included are photographs of additional works by the artist and also of several buildings by architects who have influenced Stella."--Jacket.
