A new critical survey of the celebrated New York abstract painter. Stella achieved success early on in his career with his Black Paintings of the late 1950s. In the 60s his colourful ''Protractor'' series and geometric shaped canvases became some of the most distinctive manifestations of postwar and Minimalist art. In the 1970s Stella went ''maximalist'', producing multi-media works, often using lumps of aluminium and steel, which were vivaciously and complexly three dimensional. A new, special edition, completely rewritten, and many more illustrations.
