Damascus Gate, 1970
There is just another month to see the Frank Stella: A Retrospective exhibit at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. It closes on February 26, 2017.
The exhibit covers this iconic American artist's career over the past nearly-60 years. It follows his work from his flat bright-colored canvases in the late 1950s, to his cut-out canvases, through his use of different structural materials in his 3-dimensional works, up to present day and his use of computer technology to aid in his creations.
Talladega (1980) is my favorite piece in this exhibit.
St. Michael's Counterguard, 1984
Indian Bird maquette
The exhibit includes both Stella's very large pieces and intimate smaller ones such as Indian Bird maquettes, as seen above.
The main exhibit is on the lower floor of the deYoung. It continues to the first floor to a room of his prints.
Allow at last an hour for the exhibit; two hours, perhaps, with the audioguide.
