Frank Stella: Experiment and Change
NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale is pleased to present Frank Stella: Experiment and Change, an exhibition that spans the artist鈥檚 60-year career from the late 1950鈥檚 to the present. The exhibition, composed of approximately 300 paintings, relief sculpture and drawings will offer insight into his trajectory from minimalism (e.g. the geometry of the black paintings) to maximalism (eg. the spatially complex constructionist and large sculptures of the Moby Dick series.) Curated by Bonnie Clearwater, Director and Chief Curator, Experiment and Change leads the museum鈥檚 60th anniversary celebration presented by AutoNation, and will be on view from November 12, 2017 to July 8, 2018.
The exhibition juxtaposes works from various periods of Stella鈥檚 career, revealing his aesthetic development and focusing on his 鈥淲orking Archive,鈥� which contains material never exhibited before, such as notes, sketches and maquettes that shed light on his growth as an artist. Stella鈥檚 diverse interests include art history, architecture, new materials (fluorescent pigment, carbon fiber, titanium, et al.) and computer-aided modeling for rapid prototyping. His preparatory studies show the ideas in his work that led to a notion about the enlargement of pictorial space.
Included will be penciled color sequences for the larger concentric square paintings (1973), flat foam-core cut-outs leading to the emergence of a more generous 鈥渨orking space鈥� and 3D printed models from the 1990鈥檚 through the present outlining the use of digital technology.
