From our Frank Stella sculpture to you, #MerryChristmas! American artist Frank Stella is best known for his use of geometric shapes and patterns. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, Stella created 3D sculptural forms derived from cones, pillars, French curves, waves, and decorative architectural elements. The artist used collages or maquettes that were then enlarged and re-created with the aid of assistants, industrial metal cutters, and digital technologies. ____ Frank Stella, Merry Christmas (S-5, 3x - 2d version), 1987.
