Curatorial context

The exhibition presents a significant selection of graphic works by Frank Stella (b. 1936), an influential American artist known for his contributions to minimalism and post-pictorial abstraction. The collection, drawn from the Tyler Graphics collection, spans the period between 1982 and 1996 and features 26 distinct pieces. Stella's engagement with experimental engraving processes, particularly his collaboration with master printer Kenneth E. Tyler, is a central theme. The exhibition delves into series such as "Paper Reliefs" (1974), "Eccentric Polygons" (1974), "Circuits" (from 1980), the "Wave" series (from 1986) which later referenced Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," and the visually complex "Imaginary Places" series. Stella's artistic development, influenced by artists like Jasper Johns, is traced from his early geometric works in New York to his later, more complex printmaking endeavors. The exhibition offers a comprehensive look at Stella's dedication to exploring new frontiers in graphic arts, demonstrating his continuous innovation in collaboration with a renowned studio, which has also hosted artists like Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney.
