This volume presents the work of American artist Frank Stella (b. 1936). Stella is considered a significant figure in minimalism and post-painterly abstraction. This work is a companion volume to an exhibition held in 2000 of many of Stella's works that were created during the 1970s and 1980s.

The authors situate his work ...
