His early work included a series of “pin stripe” paintings — large works with precise black lines on blank canvas — which created a furore in the US art world.Stella was recognised as a major US artist before he turned 25, and continued his career over six decades. He objected to critics’ demands that he interpret his work with the oft-quoted phrase: “What you see is what you see.”Stella turned increasingly to three-dimensional works in the 1970s and 1980s, incorporating aluminium and fiberglass into his pieces, eventually turning to freestanding sculptures for public spaces.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York offered retrospectives of his work in 1970 and again in 1987. — AFP
