Important Spring Sale presents Frank Stella

Bukowskis presents "Double Gray Scramble" by Frank Stella at the seasons largest live auction – Important Spring Sale.

When painter and sculptor Frank Stella died last year at the age of 87, he had not only reached a venerable age, but also left a major mark on contemporary art. Stella is considered to be one of the most influential American artists, especially for his ability to blur the line between painting and sculpture. Stella is best known for his use of geometric patterns and shapes in both paintings and sculptures. He explored form, color, and composition to achieve his desired expression. He began his career working in a minimalist and geometric style, and over the years, his work became increasingly maximalist, larger, and three-dimensional. In the 1960s, he began working with graphics, producing several of his most popular prints with master printer Kenneth Tyler at Gemini G.E.L., including the auction motif from the early 1970s.
