May 14, 2024 · Frank Stella was a boy wonder, and stayed that way till his death last week at 87. He was an iconoclast from beginning to end: first, overthrowing the high-toned aesthetics of the Abstract Expressionist generation, and then, after having achieved early stardom, deftly and repeatedly breaking the very rules that he set for himself.
Stella's explorations began with his series of black "pin-stripe" paintings, which created a furor in the New York art world in 1959. That year, at age twenty-three, he was the youngest artist included in the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition Sixteen Americans.
