Frank Stella Retrospective Opens at New Whitney Museum
The new Whitney Museum, designed by Renzo Piano and inaugurated in May 2015 on the Hudson River in New York, opened its first major exhibition this autumn: a comprehensive retrospective of Frank Stella's work. The exhibition is covered in artpress n°425 (September 2015, pp. 42-49) with an interview by Eleanor Heartney. The show explores Stella's paradoxical space, tracing his evolution from early Black Paintings to later exuberant, sculptural works. This marks a significant moment for the museum's new building and for Stella's legacy.
