Frank Stella tried nothing other than to occupy the cosmos of abstract painting alone. In his career spanning over 65 years, he started the image search from the smallest possible starting point, Malevich’s “Black Square”, in order to later arrive at the most colorful explosion of the painting in space, where painting looked like space-filling chaos. “From minimalism to maximalism” was what Stella called this development of his image expansion through numerous side paths, which brought him many superlative compliments and retrospectives, but also some insults. And in the course of which he cared very little about loyalty to movements and labels, but also never really remained consistently true to his own programmatic statements.
