Frank Stella
Born, 1936, Malden, Massachusetts
Lives and works in New York

Since his arrival in New York in 1959, Frank Stella has consistently explored formal abstraction. His early work, dominated by black paintings and shaped canvases, was followed by monumental geometric constructions known as the Protractor series. The next several decades were spent creating works that challenged the distinction between painting and sculpture. Arguably one of the most respected artists of the 20th century, Stella continues to push boundaries with his screen-printing.
